So with my OMV setup, I run Plex and tvheadend...or trying to. What is the easiest tuner card to get working with OMV? USB, PCI, etc? I don't want to waste time/money trying to get some temperamental tuner working.
TIA

Hi there,
as far as I understand it the question is what works with Linux and TVHeadend. I would suggest TV cards from DigitalDevices, as they support Linux: http://www.digital-devices.eu/shop/en/tv-cards/ -
based on all my research I would suggest a HomeRun network tuner by SiliconeDust.
#1 it is supported by both Linux and Windows. in-fact it has a great Linux support and is a recommended tuner to use with TVHeadend and MythTV.#2 as it is a network tuner it is separate box and architecture independent.
#3 you can use several of them if needed and is totally up to you how and where you use them.
you can have one box serving your download server and another your HTPC, that is if you want/need to 2 cable cards for them. or you can have one box with cable card serving your server and htpc and anuather as OTA only hot HTPC -
I agree with the hdhomerun suggestion. I have two of them and they work great.
They have one antenna input and two tuners. So, you can record/watch two channels simultaneously.
-
which model are you talking about?
I only see 2 inputs on HDhomerun-US and only this model,
the rest of them have single input.
I guess you can have this model to use with both an Antennae and un-encrypted network channels
but if you want to watch and record cable or other channels you need a model with cablecard slot.
a tuner with cablecard would almost replace your providers set-top box(FYI: tuner with cablecard does not provide ALL functionality that providers box does. i.e. you can not order pay-per-view channels and other services. also make sure to ask for cablecard type-M from your provider. Type-S will not work for you.) -
I have an Extend and an old Dual HD. The extend is very nice since it can do transcoding.
-
I use the hdhomerun app on kodi (on amazon firetv) which is written by silicondust themselves. It is very good. With the extend, you can use any DLNA client though. So, on iOS devices, I use nplayer or airplayer.
-
what do you use for internet provider?
-
I got rid of satellite about six years ago. Watch OTA and amazon prime along with dvd collection on server. Have Charter 60mbps for internet.
-
I do not use satellite. I have Optimum or FIOS in my area and I use Optimummostly.
couple of years back I switched to FIOS but didn't see much difference for me so when I got a good deal I got back to Optimum.since a triple service package is more economical I use it. I need internet and phone anyway
