Been using MythTV since 2005. Now running the back end on a Pi 4 with a NAS for media storage. The performance is flawless. I have to admit, over the years some of the upgrades have been a bit 'tongue in cheek' but the answers are almost always somewhere on the web.

I used WMC for years, but with MS dropping support, a new option was needed. I looked at several & eventually went with MythTV for the backend. Rock solid. Different front ends can connect to the backend for added plugin support.
