HawkXP71 99 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Really starting from scratch here. I honestly dont know anything about streaming "live" tv (not from emby, not from anything..) I used to have a hauppauge card on my desktop a 2 decades or so ago... But have no idea where to even start here. First some questions. Is it still via a device? Or is it simply redirecting a stream? How does it work with emby? Where does the guide come from? Is it based on a playlist supplied by the vendor? Is there a decent FAQ on this somewhere? That gets technical enough to understand the details? TIA HawkXP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37193 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Hi, if you're running the server on Synology then I would suggest an hd home run network tuner. Have you looked at those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you looked at those? It looks like this is the model for "cable tv" (xfinity) https://shop.silicondust.com/shop/product-category/atsc/?scrollto=410844 Then once I got this up and running, I tie this to my emby, using the appropriate plugin. Then I can use emby as the DVR and replace my cable tv boxes with emby clients? edit: does EMBY do the DVR'ing or does the hd homerun network tuner?

Luke 37193 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Did you setup guide data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question, is it possible to get the guide and image from the hdhomerun itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
