The best option I found for guide data in jrmc is still epg123 via the xmltv options.  It was relatively easy to get channel logos, etc.  I know percdata is another paid option but I haven't tried it.  There is also a scheduled direct option in jrmc but I never got channel logos with that, and I think it's limited to 14 days.  I'm not sure that I ever got dvrms files to play either but wtv files should be fine.  I

WMC can co-exist with MC but you must be careful not to let WMC take control of tuners when MC needs them.  So if you only need WMC for playing previously recorded shows, it definitely is fine.  Non-DRM'ed WMC recordings can be played inside JRiver MC too.  If you still need to use WMC for recording new shows for a while, then you need to plan it carefully so the two applications do not collide with each other on tuner usage.
