Are they any self hosted dvr programs? I have a cable set-top box that I would like to record programs while I’m away. Yes I can pay to enable the dvr functionality from my cable provider but I’m cheap and would like my shows available to any computer in the house and not just the one hooked up to set-top device. Do I need specific hardware like a TV tuner card to integrate into my pc? All I see is all in one systems being sold for OTA channels of which I have none available where I am. Would be a bonus if it worked with jellyfin. Is anybody still doing this stuff or has everyone just moved on to the arr stack?

IIRC the RTL chip inside them was originally designed for TV, so it works great! I’m actually using very cheap AliExpress clones for the TV ones, because they otherwise don’t work very well.

I’m also using the outdoor TV antenna on my roof (common in Australia, idk elsewhere), and a splitter and adaptors. And with that I get every channel with no artifacts, at 30% strength, but that’ll probably be higher with not awful SDRs.
