I am just getting started replacing a slew of (somewhat beloved) TiVos, cablecards, and Spectrum - was getting $ too much for too little, and probably a dead end.
All I have left really is YTTV as my only TVE source, a HomeRun is on the way to get started with ChannelsDVR.
I have here a Nvidia Shield that I have had for a while running apps and a Plex server with a USB SSD with a fairly full drive. Also an Raspberry 3B+ and a 4 also running a few other things and mostly redundant Plex servers and USB SSDs.
Trying to figure out what I could run DVR on... We have pretty light usage here tbh.
Can the Shield run the DVR and co-exist with Plex and share USB drive? Does the Shield still have issues with validating credentials with YTTV?
I really don't want to spring yet for a nice Ubuntu mini-box yet (and I am quite happy with Linux), still getting familiar with Channels. I could potentially deploy a retired Windows laptop for getting familiar with Channels.
Any suggestions on deploying a whole house DVR offering the spouse can get comfortable liking on a miniscule budget (probably existing hardware)?
