Live TV concerns

I am about to get into live TV especially since I just got rid of DirecTV.  First off I am using Amazon fire TV boxes generation 2 on my tv's. So when playing live TV will there be any trans coding that needs to take place.  Also does Emby Premier include guide data I know that was included with Plex. At last does Emby have the ability to auto delete shows after they've been watched?

Hi, yes we can auto-delete shows as part of a series recording. @@ebr can go into detail on playback with a Fire TV.

 

Guide data is not included but xmltv is a free option if that's what you need. Thanks !

Am sure others will be able to answer better than me, as I think I'm going to say - it depends. I'm in New Zealand and TV via Fire TV works pretty well for me. I'm also using DVB-S and the NextPVR plug-in and only getting broadcast SD. It still transcodes as it apparently needs to de-interlace the interlaced stuff. I get my guide OTA free.

 

I also have some IPTV channels, and some Direct Play (or Stream) and some transcodes (the de-interlacing thing again I guess).

 

If you're in the US or somewhere and can use a HomeRun things will be different / better.
