Suggestion on live tv through a 918+

[HawkXP71 112]

Really starting from scratch here.  I honestly dont know anything about streaming "live" tv (not from emby, not from anything..)

I used to have a hauppauge card on my desktop a 2 decades or so ago...  But have no idea where to even start here.

First some questions.  Is it still via a device? Or is it simply redirecting a stream? 

How does it work with emby?  Where does the guide come from? Is it based on a playlist supplied by the vendor?

Is there a decent FAQ on this somewhere?  That gets technical enough to understand the details?

TIA

Hi, if you're running the server on Synology then I would suggest an hd home run network tuner. Have you looked at those?

It looks like this is the model for "cable tv" (xfinity) https://shop.silicondust.com/shop/product-category/atsc/?scrollto=410844

Then once I got this up and running, I tie this to my emby, using the appropriate plugin.  

Then I can use emby as the DVR and replace my cable tv boxes with emby clients?

edit: does EMBY do the DVR'ing or does the hd homerun network tuner?

Just found this page https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001848794-hdhomerun-setup

It answered my questions.  I ordered the prime model, it should be here tomorrow

Thanks

Did you setup guide data?

I didn't at the time.  But I figured that out. 

 

Question, is it possible to get the guide and image from the hdhomerun itself?

That's too bad.  It seems to be fully working now!  Thanks for all the help
