Potential new customer

I browsed the forum and didnt see this answer specifically. I currently run plex dvr which, well between channel mapping issues and it hasnt actually recorded anything in the past month, im looking for alternatives.

My question is this: can i bring my already recorded shows and my dvd rips over to channels? if so what is the process like?

No you can't bring already recorded files over to Channels.

thank you!

As a Plex convert, you may want to keep using Plex as your Media server.
You can move or arrange your Channels DVR recordings so Plex sees them.
Channels is excellent as a DVR when paired with a HD Homerun tuner, or two, or more.
Also excellent as a Live TV Viewer using their client apps.
Channels doesn't try to be a swiss army knife/jack of all trades and that is why Channels support is a thousand times better than Plex support.
