Out of Curiosity TV on a NAS

[Nefe]

Out of curiosity, Is there any way to install TV channels (IPTV) on a NAS? If yes please share your knowledge with us.

 

[Robbie]

I use mine for digital TV (called Freeview in the UK) and it also my DVR too. I control it all via Plex with up to 4 simultaneous channel captured by the HDHomeRun Quattro. I have been doing so for years and my wider family occasionally use it to record things too as they can access my Plex service.

Same as @Robbie I use it via Plex, emulating HDHomerun device and pushing MP3U list inside it. Running a separate EPG on the side (because Croatia is not officily supported inside Plex regarding EPG), so I can combine the channels with the guide.

All running inside Docker using 2 separate containers, on top of Plex as a separate service.

Could I have the step by step instructions on how to do it, please?

A guide , or howto post will be great for those new to the idea of linking IPTV to NAS. It requires effort but new comers will be thankful.

An easy guide please, as I am not a computer literate lol

Interesting subject, which I have often wondered about. Have a look at Plex Live TV & DVR with no TV tuner or an aerial for New Zealand Freeview. There is a guide attached, although I haven't tried it. Presumably one can adapt the guide for your situation.

Thanks for the speedy reply mate, just checked the links and to be honest with you the links are too technical for me to follow.

Thanks Rusty for clarifying: My apologies: I typed ‘attached’, whereas I meant the guide is accessed via the link I posted.

I utilize an Nvidia Shield Pro that has the HDHomerun Prime application native, also available as an add-on for Kodi.
