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.

If you're fine with that, then this might be the answer to your cord-cutting dreams. Personally, I need some cable channels, which is why I decided to use Sling to get rid of cable. You will have to accept a limited channel selection, since they only pick up over-the-air signals.

If you calculate the costs over a long period of time, a network TV tuner will save you a lot of money by letting you cut the cord on cable.

They also offer a Premium Service subscription with advanced DVR features for $2 per month or $20 per year. It has a 30-day free trial, but after that it costs $5 per month, $50 per year or $180 for lifetime. Similarly, you can use Tablo for free, but it's a lot easier it you get their TV guide service. However, if you want DVR service, you will pay a $35 annual subscription. HDHomeRun's app is free and lets you watch live channels on multiple devices and view the EPG for the next 24 hours. This is a one-time cost, but if you want a program guide and DVR functionality, you're going to have to pay up some more - and on a monthly or annual basis.īoth HDHomeRun and Tablo's devices are accompanied by an app. They're fairly expensive: both the HDHomeRun Flex Duo and Tablo Dual LITE are over $100.

For the flexibility and compatibility network TV tuners deliver, you're going to have to pay up.
