Very basic question for live tv on Emby

I am able to enter in .m3u files in Emby which work so I'm able to watch these on my TV (providing of course the .m3u files are stable)

 

I see there are lots of plugins in Emby but to be honest I have no idea what they are.

 

Are I right in saying that in order to play live tv then I'll have to have a tv card for my pc?

 

Cheers for your help and this fantastic site

Yes, you will need a tuner of some sort, either an internal one, or an external one, something like a HDHomeRun or similar device.

So if I get a tuner then I can have access to the content that's on my tv? Even if it's a subscription tv?

 

Is there a budget tv tuner that works?

You would need a tuner that supports subscription/encrypted TV.

 

As @@Spaceboy says, what country are you in ?? It will help to identify your options.

so sky? its possible but not easy. in the uk freesat is relatively simple but i don't know what free channels you get in ireland via sat.

 

i have a tbs6984 with a omnikey card reader using dvblink and oscam and acamd as the key software pieces. it works well with kodi, not quite there with emby but dev's are responding.

 

i can pm you more info if you are interested but search out the above stuff it'll give you an idea
