recording OTA shows? (self.cordcutters)

Other than TiVo, what options do I have for recording OTA programs? I've been playing with Plex and rip my episodal DVDs, and would like to record, too.

I’ve used Plex DVR and Emby DVR to record OTA programming with an HDHomeRun. Works great, just like you’d expect a TiVo to work.

With Plex pass and a tuner like an HDHomerun you can record directly to your servers storage. It’s not terribly difficult to setup and works really well assuming you get good OTA signal. Of note the HDHomeruns seem to be less sensitive overall to OTA signal and anecdotally have a harder time pulling in ststions with birderline signals.
