joedrt73 0 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Ok, so I'm totally new to all this so please bear with me. I have a Thinkserver i3 TS140 that I've recently set up with a 250 ssd for boot drive and a 2tb WD Black storage drive. I currently just use PLEX for streaming my movie collection but wanted to also view live tv and use the dvr function. I have a Hauppage 2250 card that I haven't installed yet as I'm waiting for help on what software I need to use with it to be able to watch and record. thanks in advance, joedrt...

Sven 136 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I use my Hauppage 2250 with NextPVR. Works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joedrt73 0 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 ok so what does this mediabrowser live tv do? same thing? does nextpvr use wmc or is it a standalone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediacowboy 438 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 NextPVR is a stand alone application. Mediabrowser live TV is only possible with the NextPVR plugin or one of the other live TV options. So to get live TV with mediabrowser you would do this. 1st install and setup NextPVR. 2nd install the NextPVR plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediacowboy 438 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yes media browser will need to be installed. Kinda NextPVR is its own type media center. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
