  1. Mentioned this in the FB board’s yttv/mouse thread, and I’m still working out the details, but overall I’m going to implement a local dvr solution using channels dvr server.

    In general the setup will be something like this:

    antenna—>HD Homerun->Channels DVR Server<-“cable” streamer

    Devices then use the channels app.

     

    So this combines OTA and streaming channels into one menu, and you record from there.

    You don’t need a cable streamer, but we're lucky to get the 3 main channels OTA here.

    End result is that when the time comes again to swap streaming cable providers, it’s all under the hood and the end user (read that as wife) won’t know the difference.

    Now to figure out the what and how of it all.

    Agree with Cannon, I may switch from YTTV as well.  Any opinions of FUBO?

     

    While sports has good coverage, their remaining channel offering was missing some prominent stations, last I looked.

    So it depends on what you’re after, and whether or not they are missing other channels you want.

    Now y'all have me thinking about dissolving edibles in sparkling water. For education purposes.

     

    Hmmmm. The old “Jly Rancher in a Zima” trick.  Might just work.

    I had an aunt in Bonham close to that. She was so damn big she got married in her trailer because the steps might not hold her. Husband was some rancher from Mexico that weighed about 95lbs. Craziest shit I’ve seen

     

    Vic lobs up a softball like that and that’s what you first thought of? And you know him. 😆

    If you only want to watch 1 game that you can't pause or rewind its great.

    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.

    I love them, but they're, without question, the most expensive way to consume THC.  I think for the thc tonic industry to really take off, they need to get pricing somewhat competitive with beer. I do appreciate when they have them at bars, as I gave up drinking and feel like less of a square when I order a weed drink.

     

    I’ve been wanting to try and make my own beverages. Gotta do a little digging, but I’ve got a fuckton of wax to start with.
