![]() Recording a series (season) is more like guess work. NextPVR seemed to fit the bill, recordings could still be dropped into a Plex library to watched anywhere, but again issues with series linking and no accurate recording. I then tried to find something more reliable. I didn't really want to start paying a subscription for using the HDHomeRun DVR software, sort of defeats the point of Freeview, and I had no idea if it would be any better and it didn't support accurate recording either. The main problem though is Plex's guide data, they source this from who knows where and it often is inaccurate and is reliant on correct dates and series/episode numbers to record a series correctly, and these numbers are often wrong causing recording failures. Whilst padding can be used on Plex covering most drifts in the schedule, it quite quickly seemed a backward step to be having to skip forward several minutes to find the start of the program, and within no time at all we had truncated starts and ends, that we didn't have the Humax running concurrently whilst we tested Plex. First of all no option for accurate recording which is something we kind of got used to with the Humax. So any TV or box smart enough could now access live TV without needing an aerial. The HDHomeRun tuner on Freeview basically did what it said on the box, takes the Freeview single and distributes a given MUX/channel over a network. ![]() A long time user here of the HDR-FOX T2 from the day it was launched, still going strong but due to finding 2 tuners often caused clashes and the inability to play videos easily elsewhere on other TVs or out of the home (cord cutting), and the fact it may not last for ever, I thought I'd try a HDHomeRun Quatro along side Plex's DVR software. ![]()
