As a long-term MythTV user, I read all the discussion about Plex vs Jellyfin, but I'm still here... recording Live TV, watching films, listening to "me choonz" all on free, open-source software. What am I missing? Any other MythTV users out there?

I'm confused. Isn't mythtv just TV tuner software or something? Which would still require a cable subscription? Plex and jellyfin do not operate on the same playing field. Jellyfin is also FOSS FWIW.

MythTV has movie/TV and music libraries, so it's not too different than the other two. Also, you can use a tv tuner like TVheadend with jellyfin.

I used MythTV for years and eventually switched to Kodi to get more modern UIs. I eventually separated the server part with jellyfin to get more flexibility, keeping Kodi on little raspberry pi boxes as clients

You can just watch over the air channels

Oh right, aren't those all basically trash though? Like a few news channels and some talk shows?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

No. Maybe it is where you're located, but for me it's fine.

Movies come from the high seas, so I'm not too worried about them, but there's some good stuff on terestrial TV definitely

It depends I guess. There is a bunch of different content. Not all of it is stuff I watch but there is a good selection.
