I have 2 HDHR Primes and I just setup TVE to try out the new beta feature 4K Fox sports.
Are there other uses cases/reasons to use TVE along with my HDHR boxes? Just trying to learn from the more experienced users here.
I use it as fallback in case all my Prime Tuners are in use ... Also, to record Sports talk shows on ESPN FS1 etc. ... so as not to tie up any Prime tuners.

I have a Prime tuner, but use TVE for those few channels I only get in SD on my Prime.
There are a few channels available only through TVE, not TV provider specific. If you want to watch any of those, it's the way.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I don’t have cable and use HDHR 4k with antenna. I use youtubetv for sports and non broadcast channels. Frankly, the YTTV interface is garbage and their DVR is not much better. With TVE I can have a single source for my live tv viewing and DVR with a great guide and DVR with local storage. With stream links I can even use the same interface for some streaming services as well.
Well, I just got notified that Spectrum is dropping all CableCARD support in like 3 weeks. So I guess some form of TVE will be my last option. Not sure what to do now. I’m not subscribing to 3 different streaming services to get comparable coverage. Might just can the whole thing. Doves me $159 a month for cable and whatever Channels charges. Cord cutting is absolutely the nightmare I knew it would be. But everyone was so smart thinking it would drive down costs and put it to the cable companies. Now they just all charge a lot more for a lot less. Great job American consumers. We are the best in the world at taking aforbale/free stuff and turning it into inferior but much more costly product. See bottled water…
I was in your position a little while ago. I don't know what options you have, but I am within about 30 miles of the local TV station towers, so I grabbed an antenna, a HDHomerun, and a Hulu Live TV account (+ Spectrum Internet) and I'm almost back to where I was with OTA and TVE. It worked out okay.
