Setting up Channels in area with no Internet

[Beamer]

Getting ready to visit family in rural Virginia. There is no internet. I am semi tech literate, just enough to get myself into trouble.

I have a spare AppleTV, raspberry pi, and 4tb hd. Also spare Motorola Wi-Fi modem/router.

Is it possible to plug my AppleTV directly into the pi?

If I copy files off current HD what not travelled is there anything else I can copy like backup? To have acces to metadata before going on road.

I have a hdhomerun also. Would I be able to use 4port switch and connect homerun, AppleTV and channels pi or do I need to use my Wi-Fi/router?

Essentially making it a media center.

Not totally sure what you are trying to do.

Looking to do a permanent setup, or just watch your files while visiting family?

If there is no internet, you can not get anything that has to come from internet, of course.

HD Homerun is only for OTA - assuming they have a signal and antennae that you can connect. But the guide needs internet access to run.

If you want to test any of this before you leave - turn off your internet at home and try to make it work.

You can DOWNLOAD anything you have already recorded. Or just copy the files from your server to a HDrive.

A temporary setup that may upwards of a month.

They have reception so I would use the homerun and use my phone as a hotspot to pull the guide in.

Pretty much using channels as a media center and figuring the best way to put it together

I’m tinkering around right now. Already loaded channels into the raspberry and moved files to the drives. Trying to make it as compact as possible
