Dizzy49 94 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 We all love Emby in our house, and we got a killer deal on our internet, and it comes bundled with TV. My kids like a few channels, as does my wife. I don't quite understand how the Live TV works with Emby, and can Emby serve as a DVR, or is additional equipment required? It looks like I can get a Homerun Prime for a decent price right now. I wish it was rack mountable though. What other Live TV hardware is recommended? Would prefer 4 streams if possible. Thanks!

Dizzy49 94 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 I guess I can buy two of the Homerun Prime for a total of 6. If I remember correctly (from ages ago) the CableCARD will decrypt two premium channels each, and the 3rd is a non-premium channel. What if 3 people all want to watch HBO? Does it use one decoder per stream? Or one per channel, so if 3 people wanted to watch HBO, it wouldn't be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiretap 30 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 For rackmountable, you could always use something like this: https://www.silicondust.com/product/tech3-6cc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For starters, it's $1500 for 6 tuners, vs 2x $130 for two Primes Secondly, it's not clear if the App and everything else is supported with the Commercial ones. I'll prob just get a 1-2u shelf and put them on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
