Self-hosted dvr
Self-hosted dvr
Are they any self hosted dvr programs? I have a cable set-top box that I would like to record programs while I'm away. Yes I can pay to enable the dvr functionality from my cable provider but I'm cheap and would like my shows available to any computer in the house and not just the one hooked up to set-top device. Do I need specific hardware like a TV tuner card to integrate into my pc? All I see is all in one systems being sold for OTA channels of which I have none available where I am. Would be a bonus if it worked with jellyfin. Is anybody still doing this stuff or has everyone just moved on to the arr stack?

TVHeadend, but it has a really steep learning curve.
TVHeadend is the way, I've been running it with a USB satellite tuner for 5+ years. Setting it up can be a little confusing, but once it's running you pretty much never have to touch it again.
As for clients, there's a Jellyfin plugin, however it seems to not work for me right now.
My client of choice is Kodi with the TVHeadend plugin, and that works great. If you still want Jellyfin integration, you could just add your recordings folder as a library in Jellyfin.
