I don't want to start a legal/illegal debate

 

Recent price hikes by our local CATV provider has left me looking for alternatives.

 

I am versed in the setup of M3U tuners and their associated playlists.

 

What I am looking for is integration with Emby and legal service.

 

Information is hard to find aside from USTVNow.

 

All help and advice would be appreciated and if you wish PM me with your input that is great.

 

Thanks for reading!

Hi.  I believe Silicon Dust's offering is just about the only solution being delivered in a way we can consume.

 

Perhaps some other totally free type things but probably not the content you are looking for.

Integration with Emby is the difficult part.   As ebr stated, HDHomerun Premium is about the only legal offering that works with Emby but they're in a carriage dispute with (Discovery,Hallmark, HGTV, TLC, Food, Animal, Travel, and OWN).   You can put up an antenna and use HDHomerun Quatro tuners.   You need an HdHomerun tuner for the HDHomerun Premium service anyway.  YoutubeTV just went nation wide but it's a proprietary app.   You might look into playon.tv but I hear it's pretty unreliable.     I live in an area which is not great for OTA but I put up two external antennas (one with pre-amp and one not) pointing in different directions and connected to two different HDHomerun tuners and am able to get all of the channels in this DMA.    

 

Your local CATV provider probably isn't that much more expensive than these streaming services though unless your willing to give up channels.  I'm assuming you've already dumped the cable boxes in favor of an HDHomerun Prime.  Most of the time you're not completely dumping the cable company because you still need them for Internet.   A relatively complete package given the current limitations of HDHomerun Premium can still be achieved by adding Philo to the package but it'd be a proprietary app. 

 

You might want to reevaluate whether you truly need Emby for LiveTV with the other IP streaming services offering their own DVR options.  If so, I think you're stuck with what's already been mentioned or you're going down a less legal path.

My OTA with PremiumTV and Philo cost me a grand total of $41 a month saving well over $100 a month over what I used to pay with cable TV when you include taxes, local Carriage fees, set-top box fees, DVR fees and fees to to calculate the fees.

Obviously not interested with Emby, but the Hulu w/Live TV gives you the major cable stations and a DVR service for ¿$40?. The issue my parents have run into with 100 Meg service is that it seems as though the Live TV often gets out of sync with the audio and buffers frequently on their Roku.
