And those are only given out by your Cable Co. But if the channels are encrypted, cable card is the only way I know of. I know many providers might make you jump thru some hoops or have very little in terms of support.

How well cable cards work, depends on the provider. Cable cards decrypt the channels for you. There are models of the HD Home run that use Cable Card. So is there a way to rebroadcast it un-encrypted through my network, like hotels do with their cable TV, or is there some sort of software where I can use a IR blaster and a capture card and get Plex to switch channels? Although that's pretty ambitious. Depending on your location, this can provide free access to channels like ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, Telemundo, The CW y Univision. Those devices attach to an antenna and broadcast the TV signal on your Wi-Fi network. (Foxtel IQ2 = Australian Cable Pay TV Set-top Box - Uses a cable card)Įverywhere that I've looked says that the card cant be read by other DVR's as it's too encrypted. HDHomeRun HDHomeRun is the app used to watch live TV if you have a HDHomeRun device. To be able to hook up my Foxtel IQ2 with Plex. However, there is something that I've been researching and wanting for a long time now. (Freeview = Australian Free to Air Channels) What I am HOPING is that Emby might send the stream but the Roku could play the AC4 and allow me to select which audio channel to play.So I've been using Plex for a long time now, and I'm looking into getting a HDHomeRun Connect Quatro to watch Freeview TV on Plex. FOX only has a single, English audio stream so it works OK with the Roku app. SiliconDust has a Roku app but unfortunately there is no capability to select which audio stream you want to listen to for some crazy reason, the first audio stream by our ATSC 3.0 broadcaster on NBC, CBS, ABC, and MyNetwork is Spanish while the second audio stream is English. I then have a variety of Roku devices in the house three are built-in to the TV and the rest are the Roku Ultras (4802R). If I install Emby, it would be on a Ubuntu 22.04 server machine that while it is already running a few dedicated servers, they are essentially using only a fraction of the machine's resources (Intel i7-12700F with 64 GB RAM). is that true? I've already tried using SiliconDust's own DVR server but it has a terrible interface and very unreliable.Īs to my hardware, I have a HDHomeRun CONNECT 4K receiver. I believe I saw that while Emby also can't transcode the AC4 audio, it will pass it along if transcoding is disabled. Most of my experience has been with Plex Media Server but I KNOW that Plex ignores AC4 audio and will not send it on, even if transcoding is disabled. I am hoping to find a way to be able to watch ATSC 3.0 content with a DVR like interface. Post processing scripts to augment the Plex Media Server DVR functionality. I was hoping to make sure it was possible before wasting hours working on something that is known to not work. I seem to be getting mixed signals as to whether what I'm looking for will work for me.
