Synology nas 2bays

Do I need atleast a ds220+ or ds220j or 223j work?
I also have a pi 3. That won’t work right?

the j models use ARM processors and won't work well. the + models are intel celeron. the most important thing is the cpu: https://kb.synology.com/en-me/DSM/tutorial/What_kind_of_CPU_does_my_NAS_have

If I just use the tv anywhere feature, no dvr or anything would a raspberry pi work?

You have to have the dvr subscription in order to use TVE.

A pi4b works great. Channels even has their own custom OS image u can flash to the pi. (recommend use a external hdd/ssd via usb, NOT a sd card.)

pi3 is no good, too old/weak.

U could also go with a Pi5, but there is no custom image for that model, for that just use the normal Linux type setup

Though, with prices of Pi5 + things u need , it is very close to just some very cheap mini pcs u can find on Amazon etc.
