LiveTV through Emby for Kodi

I'm trying to wrap my head around how Live TV would work when I'm running Emby inside of Kodi?  From what I'm reading, if I were to use the Emby app, all I would need to do is buy a HDHomeRun and link it to Emby.

 

But how does that work if I'm just running the Emby plugin for Kodi and not the full Emby app?

That would get you live TV through Emby BUT I don't think Emby for Kodi adds Emby as a PVR Backend so you would have to watch TV via Emby.

Shows DVR'd through the Emby Live TV function will show up in Kodi as regular media items though. It's not a perfect fix, but it does allow for recorded items to be viewed through Kodi.
I personally use Kodi powered by Emby on everything except Live TV. Other players at the moment handle live TV better in my opinion, but Emby is my DVR. For better or worse.
Looking forward to the newest server which appears to be focusing a lot on live TV.
