Hi everyone,

I see emby supports multiple live tv options?  Which is considered the best?  Most robust?  Just works?

We want to watch and record live tv from within emby, if possible.

Thanks

A physical tuner. Such as an HDHomeRun or similar.

If you are semi-technical or better you can look at adding a TVEverywhere(TVE) source (YTTV, HuluLive, Sling) to Emby via an M3U Tuner - These are second most reliable IMO. Doing this requires an addtional server and small cost $8 PM or $80 PY. I have this set up for quite some time - 95%+ reliability. Though I do ALL local type channels via HDHomeRun(s).

For Locals, An HDHomeRun Quattro and Antenna is the way to go.

For Cable, the Prime is the best but there are ways to use ChannelsDVR (indicated above) to generate an m3u3 file to stream TVEverywhere to Emby. I never could get the guide right doing this so gave up since my Primes are working and I didn't want to fork over another $80 a year to ChannelsDVR.
