It's been a couple years since we've had one of these threads and the tech seems to have advanced a little bit.
I can't find much detailed information about Windows Media Center but here's what I've gathered:
1) You can buy a 6-tuner Cable Card / Tuning Adapter adapter for PCs now. Meanwhile Tivo Roamio also now supports 6 tuners.
2) Windows Media Center doesn't seem to charge for TV guide data-- is this true? It seems to get a 14-day feed just like Tivo.
3) Does Windows Media Center support Tivo-like Season Passes?
4) Roamio has new features for streaming Internet sources which probably has caught up to WMC and it's various plug-ins.
So-- in your opinion, what is the advantage of Tivo over WMC these days?
