If you’re in the UK then the best bet is to go with one of the SiliconDust HDHomeRun models, which play nice with which ever of the platforms your Plex Server is running on, be it Windows, macOS, Linux, NAS or the Nvidia Shield. Next you’ll need to add one of the supported tuners to your setup.

I recommend grabbing the lifetime version (currently under £100). To setup the live TV and recording features you’ll need a Plex Pass. I honestly (other than just more tuners, which we have no need for) don't see what could or should be improved with a device like this other than it having it's own built in DVR via a 2.5" SSD or NVMe drive but that would mean we'd have to go to a different interface/app to view those shows instead of PLEX but if you got no plex server to begin with, that would be a much different discussion and I would consider something like that.Plex has had Live TV and DVR capabilities for some time now, but a recent update has added the familiar Grid View to its program guide.īeing a Sky Q household we already have a great DVR, but with some limitations, so with the new EPG view it was time to add the Plex recorder to the Automated Home’s networked media setup. Plex recordings of live HD TV from the HDHR are blue ray bitrate at around 25,000kbps so the image quality is outstanding. That bigger antenna offered a significantly better signal strength and image quality and manages to hold its picture during storms. ABC still has no local channels with Hulu (our main TV service) in our area so the HDHR is clutch both for live TV and for live recording.Īnd though it's a bit bigger than the little mouse pad looking ones, I couldn't get a strong enough signal for ABC when it was in the window facing the tower.
