  • 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 2 years ago

  • HDHomerun options help
    Personally I use a Internet Router with 4 DVB-Tuners inside (Fritz!Box 6660 Cable), connect them to a tvheadend (https://tvheadend.org/) instance which is then proxied to plex using a docker image of Antennas (https://github.com/jfarseneau/antennas). If I didn't have that Internet Router, I would probably connect a DVB-Tuner card compatible with tvheadend into a pc and do the same thing. You could probably also... Source: almost 3 years ago

    I have an Ubuntu-based NAS device on which I was able to plug in two USB DVB tuners and install tvheadend software. So I can use dream Player TV for TVheadend – Apps on Google Play on CCwGTV to watch TV digital channels. Source: about 3 years ago
  • DS920+ Plex Server with tuner?
    I connected my USB tuner to a Raspberry Pi with tvheadend installed, works fine and records directly to a network share on the NAS. Tvheadend has way better features than the Synology native offering had. Source: about 3 years ago

    Here's my setup for reference: HDHomeRun Connect (the ollllld model, replacing with an HDHomeRun Connect 4K soon) backed by a Raspberry Pi 4 running LibreElec and a 6 Tb USB 3 external drive. I use tvheadend (built in to LibreElec) for DVR duties and Comskip (also included with LibreElec) for post-recording commercial analysis. The setup is connected directly to my main TV via HDMI, and for secondary devices... Source: about 3 years ago
  • Anyway to record without cable or expensive service?
    I do this daily with a Hauppauge wintv-dualhd and Tvheadend on a linux laptop. It's a pretty good setup. Source: over 3 years ago
  • New HDHR Flex 4K owner
    There are other options besides Plex - I run LibreElecon a Raspberry Pi 4 w\ 4 GB RAM and a 6 TB USB 3 drive. LibreElec includes tvHeadendand comskip so you can schedule recordings, do post-recording commercial skip analysis, pull down guide data OTA, and transcode streams. LibreElec also has all the necessary addons for HDHomeRun devices, and the 10.0.0 update (to Kodi Matrix) supports 4kp30 output, H264 and H265... Source: over 3 years ago
  • Is it possible to make a DVR with a Pi and a USB hard drive?
    Hello, I have a Sat>IP server in private use, which packs analog satellite signals from the satellite dish into RTSP-like packets. Now to your question. I have connected the Sat>IP server to a Raspberry Pi 4 via Ethernet. The Pi4 is running a tvheadend server (https://tvheadend.org/) . The software can be installed with apt (https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/AptRepositories). After installation you can... Source: over 3 years ago
  • My parents wants a new TV. They used to watch television with satellite from this router using hdmi cable. As the TV will be hanging on the wall and other side of the room, it's impossible to use hdmi cable anymore. Are there any gadgets to wirelessly transfer hdmi signal to TV or any other solution
    Yeah but you gotta build it yourself I’m affraid https://tvheadend.org/. Source: over 3 years ago
