Channels-DVR blows Plex out to of the water for live content, including live streamed content from services like YouTube-TV. Will have to see if Plex can aggregate the rest now!


Thank you for this as I'm ready to try something new. Used MythTV, then tvheadend, and now plex for LiveTV/DVR. I absolutely loathe Plex, nothing but problems with transcoding. I shouldn't need to have a transcoding server in 2022 with hardware accelerated devices.

Kodi + TVHeadend had me 90% of the way there, but a handful of persistent bugs around PVR destroyed it for the family.


This looks really cool!

I have a MythTV setup curreny, but the sheer amount of hoops I had to go through to make it work with the tuner card and SchedulesDirect meant that I was loathe to change anything lest the house of cards breaks.

Perhaps it's time to check this alternative out.


That and I have over-the-air antenna to get local channels hooked up to HDrunner and Channels-DVR makes easy work watching local stuff and record as needed.
