    What is the most sensitive tuner available?

    I noticed Plex live TV on your source list in the picture you posted. Is this your source list for Channels DVR? I didn't see Plex offered as a provider in the Channels DVR provider list. I still have a lifetime subscription to Plex, and I'd love to be able to see and record the Plex live TV...

    What is the most sensitive tuner available?

    Channels is now my favorite DVR server. The instructions for integrating and combining various sources such as an HD Homerun tuner together with a subscription streaming service such as Philo are pretty vague and lack some important details. But the setup process is actually easy (once you...

    What is the most sensitive tuner available?

    Well, I made some progress! After some research, I found out that the stations I want are 39-40 miles away--not 25-30 like I thought before. So, I changed my old antenna, an Antennas Direct Clearstream 2V, for an Antennas Direct Clearstream 4V. The new antenna is basically the same antenna, but...

    What is the most sensitive tuner available?

    I think I'll try this filter route first. I'm on the east coast of Florida. It's very flat, and the towers are all due south of me. I imagine there are dozens of cell towers and radio stations between me and those TV towers. I liked the idea of a preamp until I realized I'd have to run another...

    What is the most sensitive tuner available?

    That's helpful to know. Do you definitely get more channels with that preamp? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but I didn't have great luck with the cheap junk WalMart preamp I tried in a different setup a couple of years ago. Maybe a good quality preamp with filters would help me get...

    Can that be accomplished outside of the tuner?

    What is the most sensitive tuner available?

    That sounds very cool. I guess I'll have to set up a CHANNELS server alongside my PLEX server to compare them. For streaming channels, I mostly watch BritBox and Acorn mainly because British shows are often a bit cleaner than network TV, which I personally find pretty disgusting. But live...

    What is the most sensitive tuner available?

    Yes, I've really been thinking about that one, but I wonder if maybe the reality is that none of these outboard tuners can pick up as many channels as the built-in tuner on a good TV. Also, I wonder if maybe there's a splitter inside all these multi-tuner boxes that reduces the signal strength...

    What is the most sensitive tuner available?

    It seems amazing to me that I never see published test reports comparing tuner sensitivity. Instead, the reviews I've seen compare features and software interfaces, which mean nothing to me compared to knowing how good the tuner is in the first place. I'm 25-30 miles from the transmitters in my...
