Fun to see HDHR being used in a home. My company deploys 5000+ to capture TV streams so I forget that they get used at home too

[@heyitsnemo]

I did this too lol. But I connect my Mac mini to a HDMI to RF adapter & VNC into my Mac, play something on KZbin/Plex & now I have retro tv (pair it with a LocationFree player & your PSP also has TV!) what’s old is new & cool again.

[@alexlovett1991]

Tvheadend works nicely with a usb dvb tuner (or pcie card).

[@patafrom]

I want to the same . Your plex sercer is running on linux or win ? Mine is linux

[@AlexOgOliver]

What if you have a Viacces card? All my channels are encrypted, so it's not possible to watch TV without it.

[@nikolaievans2432]

Jsut so you know guys this isnt like Xfinity or cable its signal tv witch means it can loose signal

[@antimattercarp2720]

Never lost signal on cable I see.

[@ClaytonMileto]

upgrade to jellyfin, friend

[@_xX_me_Xx_]

strong words, and every bit correct

[@bonamin]

I use Emby. I wanted to use Plex JUST for the ability to request media through plex's interface. You can see all films from a certain actor, or a studio etc. And you can add something to a watch list, which then can be processed by a Radarr instance to download said films etc... Now, Plex has a disadvantage. When you are behind a CG-NAT, like me, there are multiple connectivity issues. Sadly. That prohibits me from using it. So I picked Emby as it seems more refined than JF. Do you have any reasons why I would wanna consider JF over Emby? Other than the price. I am already a lifetime premium user.

wiki to set it up ?

​​@@TechnoTimmake a pinned comment that links to the full version, bc you can't click the URL in the description on mobile or desktop, you have to copy and paste it. I'm on mobile, so I have to dig through your channel to find it. Also, most people will not even look at the description of a YT shorts video. Pinned comment will have the URL clickable and people just passing through will see it. It will result in more traffic to your video and channel..

@@hodlwise2470 You can click the link with the play icon just under the Channel name when using shorts. It's a new feature where creators can link their long form video with a short.

So not for free if you need to buy plex pass

[@CS-110]

Jellyfin is an option

[@nicholascopsey4807]

You also need to buy the tuner, and the antenna. And something to mount the antenna. And a server to record the data to So this was never going to be free.

[@seanthenry]

@@nicholascopsey4807 You forgot about the electricity to run everything. /s

or u use jellyfine and is free

Does this support the new encryption and support the new requirements though?….

Nice but my over the air TV is crap

Get a better antenna

[@troyhickman8577]

Isn't more and more of the over the air broadcast being encrypted?

[@ZStrikeYT]

that is satellite, there are tons of free digital tv stations

[@theexplorercompany4444]

Can i use Satellite cable tv with this device?

[@krisalis709]

Yes, you can. I would call your provider and ask if they support it. Usually, it will require additional hardware and installation from them. If they say that they do support it, then you can purchase one and have a technician come out to install it.

[@ArmadilloFactory]

I can’t for the life of me, think of a good reason to record TV these days. That’s about as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop. 🍭

[@prplzip]

probably hours of configuring and troubleshooting just to get the local weather channels

[@ingy23]

I've had one one running for years, don't use it much but took 5 - 10 mins to setup

[@thamerrro4234]

this is most useless, if you have "WiFi" or even Internet... bro just de-invented plex

[@llortaton2834]

You are probably one of the most ignorant commenter i have ever seen, the internet only allow a recorded version of the show to be shared, using antenna's you have live feed, completelly different technology with different purpose. Ima call you patrick star because you live under a rock.

[@mainstaymist]

The term is un-invented and sports aren’t commonly found on Usenet and torrent sites (AKA linux ISO downloading websites)

[@faithful451]

Mate not every show is available free on the internet, in fact most aren't. Even if they are, how are you going to record them? Most streaming services don't allow recording or downloading, especially.
