• Is there something like "network attached monitor"

  The devices had a small daemon that would periodically send HTTP requests to the central web service and check if it needed to update the content it was displaying and would update content accordingly. The content was displayed through OSMC. Source: about 1 year ago

• Pay me the buying power to afford the things you got at my age, and maybe then I'll buy these things...

  Downstairs is a Raspberry PI hooked to large hard drive (8TB). That runs OSMC and provides network access for all computers/phones in the house while being hooked up to the living room TV. The IPTV can run through it but I just watch that on my computer. Source: about 1 year ago

• one day my friend

  Just put osmc on it and use it as media center. Depending on your hardware it can be pretty solid. And there is a lot you can configure. it's basically an os which boots direcly to kodi. Also it supports hdmi-cec so you can use your normal tv remote, it's awesome. Source: over 1 year ago

• Plexamp v4.2.2 Released

  I have heard good stuff about https://osmc.tv/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Can someone suggest a Smart TV like distro?

  From what I know there aren't many options for this use case, and those that I know of (like OSMC or Plasma Bigscreen) all run on ARM devices like Raspberry Pi, but not x86/64. I would recommend the same as other commenters: to just use a normal distribution and put something like Kodi on it. You could probably configure the system to automatically start up whatever UI you prefer to make it more seamless. Source: about 2 years ago

  I posted this yesterday on the tvheadend.org board, but it's silent so far. I thought I'd try here:. Source: 10 months ago

• MythTV 33 Released – open-source All-in-one DVR

  Fwiw, Xbox One Digital TV Tuners and some RTL-SDRs (with an extra decoder chip) are able to pick up DVB-T2 and are usually £10~20 on eBay. https://tvheadend.org/ can be useful for interfacing with the tuners over USB and exposing web streams. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• DVR/Live TV in the UK?

  If your USB tuner works with Linux, you can use it with TVHeadend, and connect it to Jellyfin via the official plugin. I use it here and it works fairly well. Source: over 1 year ago

• Getting freeview TV live via internet directly

  They're expensive for what they are, though. If you're techy minded you can make your own using something like a Raspberry Pi, some USB TV tuners and TVHeadend. Source: over 1 year ago

• Self-hosted solution like HDHomeRun

  TVheadend (or the convenient linuxserver docker container). Source: over 1 year ago
