    yeah we’re running our own plex server now and it’s been amazing. too many price hikes and reductions in quality of service. over it

      Throw a tv tuner in front of a Plex server and you get magic!

          I think you need a plex pass but am unsure, as I already paid the ‘lifetime’ sub before I added a tuner. I think so since the guides aren’t free (for plex) but it’s been a few years since I researched it all.

        Ye, this is one thing I did for the folks, so there is always new stuff even when I’m not managing it. They have like 20 shows they are slowly recording.

        I got the HDHomeRun Extend, 2 tuners in one unit. Slap an antenna on the wall and boom, extra functionality.

          There is a lot to love about living in WV (politics aside) but antenna TV reception is not one of them, sadly. Even moreso since broadcasting went all-digital. Signals don’t travel well around the mountains. I’d go back to an antenna in a heartbeat if I could get decent reception. I’m only about 15 miles away from a couple of the towers and can’t even pick them up without a really huge roof antenna.

        If by magic you mean it will automatically record gigabytes of ads for you right out of thin air and sprinkle them throughout all the content…

        OTA is unwatchable.

      My plex server is the best streaming experience I ever had. Only stopped running it because I just wasn’t watching anything for a good bit. More time on my hands now, so time for a revival.
