You’ll also need ample hard disk storage space.
But to record live channels, you’ll also need a NAS box, an always-on computer (such as a desktop Windows PC or Mac), or an Nvidia Shield TV. With the tuner alone, you can watch live TV through HDHomeRun’s free apps on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, and Xbox One. SiliconDustĪn HDHomeRun tuner is required to use the new Premium TV streaming service. (If you’re planning to set up DVR service, your PC or a good-quality NAS box can likely handle transcoding without the pricier Extend hardware.) The tuner then connects via ethernet cable to your router, which in turn streams video to other devices over ethernet or Wi-Fi. The $180 Extend has two tuners plus a built-in transcoder, so it consumes less bandwidth for live TV and less storage for recordings. The Connect costs $100 for two tuners (which can watch or record two channels at a time) or $150 for four tuners (for four simultaneous channels). For both, you need either an HDHomeRun Connect or HDHomeRun Extend tuner to watch live TV. I am already able to play the IPTV channels that I added to PVR Simple Client on the OSMC media browser.HDHomeRun treats its Premium TV channels the same way as over-the-air broadcasts. I assume OSMC came up as an option because its media center feature allows it to broadcast media files to any computer connected to the same network.
So this all lies around whether it is truly possible to broadcast IPTV channels that are added to KODI’s PVR Simple Client add-on on OSMC, so that it appears like a HDHomeRun tuner to any Plex server. There was no discussion of TVHeadend being necessary in this process. This possibility came up in a Plex thread where it seems a lot of users were using a proxy tuner called “Telly” to emulate a HDHomeRun TV tuner to connect to Plex DVR.Īt any rate, the rabbit hole leads to some Reddit chats that bring up OSMC was being capable of broadcasting tv channels loaded on KODI’s PVR Simple Client directly to Plex DVR via port 3000.
