IMO, Windows Media Center was a very nice piece of software and it is really too bad that MSFT decided to discontinue support.
I have a system image and some redundant hardware in case there is a failure of some kind. If any of those sites are compromised there are much bigger problems with the Internet than my little PC. The only Internet stuff this PC does is video streaming from about five websites (Amazon Prime, Netflix, ESPN+ and a couple of more).
I don’t use this PC for email or random web browsing. The PC is protected by a firewall and the only thing I need to do is move potentially move to a new antivirus solution form MSFT Security Essentials. As noted by I’ve updated to EPG123 for schedule information 18 months ago and that untied me from MSFT schedule updates. I cannot move to Plex or some other solutions as they don’t support cable cards. I’m tied to Win7 and WMC for the foreseeable future as this is my cable box solution (there have been attempts to port the program over to Win10 but it seems that every Win10 update causes problems). The key issue is protected content and the need for a cable card if one is using Windows Media Center as a replacement for TIVO or a telecom cable box.
