Plex has DVR capability as long as your using HD HomeRun tuners, and I
believe SilconDust has their own DVR software if you don't want to pay for
Plex.

MediaPortal and NextPVR may also be worth looking at.

Tvheadend is interesting in that it just streams from your tuner... I don't
believe it will record.  But Kodi does support it, so you could at least
watch live tv on any device that supports Kodi (just about everything).

All said, I doubt that your going to be satisfied with anything on the
market if you have had a functional Mythtv system in the past... they all
seem to lack the flexiblity and power of mythtv.
