Much of the same functionality seems to have gone into media server software, such as Plex.  With Plex, you can store movies, TV shows, music, and photos on your Plex server and play them on any device (with the Plex app). Also, Plex can make use of a TV tuner to stream over-the-air TV to your devices and also record over-the-air TV content (if you have a premium Plex subscription).
