If you managed to put together a Plex server, you’ll have zero problems with this project. But OTA TV on Plex is a much cheaper, more customizable option. But if you want DVR functionality or remote streaming outside your home, you need Plex Pass.īear in mind that some services, such as YouTube TV, offer local channels without any additional hardware. Plex Pass (Optional): Any Plex user can set up OTA TV on their server.(If you happen to own a digital tuner with an Ethernet port, give it a try, it might work.) That said, Plex offers a full list of compatible tuners on its website. I suggest using the SiliconDust HDHomeRun, as it works with all Plex servers regardless of their operating system or region. Supported Tuner: You need a digital TV tuner to process information from your antenna.

If you live in a rural area, try using the latter option to improve signal quality and broaden your selection of channels. Any digital antenna will work, whether it’s indoor or outdoor.

Digital Antenna: A TV antenna is required for this project.
