Shortly after Windows 7's 2009 release, Microsoft disbanded the Media Center development team, thus abandoning any further software developments. It is possible to view encrypted cable television channels by using an internal or external tuner that supported CableCARD. Both standard- and high-definition unencrypted video are supported through DVB-T and ATSC standards. Up to six TV tuners on a tuner card are supported simultaneously. It is also possible to watch and pause live TV. Content can be played back on computer monitors or on television sets through the use of devices called Windows Media Center Extenders. Users can stream television programs and films through selected services such as Netflix. Media Center can play slideshows, videos and music from local hard drives, optical drives and network locations. It was also available on Windows 8 Pro and Windows 8.1 Pro as a paid add-on, before being discontinued in Windows 10, although it can reportedly be unofficially reinstalled using a series of Command Prompt commands. It was included in Home Premium and Ultimate editions of Windows Vista, as well as all editions of Windows 7 except Starter and Home Basic.
Media Center was first introduced to Windows in 2002 on Windows XP Media Center Edition ( MCE). Windows Media Center ( WMC) is a defunct digital video recorder and media player created by Microsoft.
