Plenty of ways around that.
This whole fiasco, again, is making me rethink my setup and trying to position for a better/easier/less hassle experience long term. Here's the big picture I'm zeroing in on:
- OTA Antenna
- HD HomeRun
- Channels DVR Server + NAS
- whatever "cable streamer"
- Channels App on devices
(OTA connected to HDHR -> HDHR connected to Channels DVR Server <- "Cable Streamer" connected to Channels DVR Server)
The channels dvr server is the glue in this deal, and pulls it all together. The thing being that when this happens again, I can swap credentials "under the hood" in the channels dvr server, and keep on going without impacting the end user experience and having to use a different app and losing whatever recordings etc.
I have several options that can run the server and whatnot, but have to figure out what I want to do about storage.
ETA: Channels DVR Server also has multiview.
