I initially thought it was recording break-ups, but no, from what I read the Plex client doesn't yet support the decoding power available on the Apple TV 4K. One issue I noted was that Freeview HD recordings (like yesterday's Grand Prix on Channel 4 HD) would either break up and drop out every few seconds and the de-interlacing looked wrong. It organises recordings in to Shows and Seasons and downloads show covers automatically very well.Īpple TV 4K - Free Plex app v.s. I can be accessed by any wi-fi or networked player at home, and the pc web desktop app can log in remotely via the internet (although I have not opened the twin firewalls I run, so I don't think it will stream very well over the internet, but I use it only so see and set program guide recordings). I installed the free Plex client iOS app on an iPad and an iPhone.Īll the clients let you see the Recording Schedule and Program Guide, which provides season pass type recording, I've had it recording pretty much non-stop all day long for a week, sometimes using up the 4 tuners. I installed the free Plex client tvOS app on an Apple TV 4K. I installed the free Plex client Android app on our 2017 Sony TV. This includes a 2-week EPG that covers Freeview HD and was relatively easy to configure including entering my first 3 characters of my postcode. This requires a Plex Pass subscription, which is about £4 pcm or a one-off lifetime £95. The HDHomeRun is listed as supported within Plex's new Live DVR feature. I also setup a Windows PC running the free Plex Media Server software on it, with a few large hard disks in it for storage. It is also prone to crashing on my iPhone and iPad. This can do live pause, but requires a subscription for DVR features and I suspect doesn't work well for set and forget recording. There is a free HDHomeRun iOS app that can play back TV. I get no Freeview breakups unlike what we occasionally do see downstairs on our 2017 Sony 4K TV tuner. It also seems a really strong tuner and can go upstairs near the loft to keep the high quality double-shielded sat coax run short, as it does not need to go anywhere near a TV. This is a small box that simply has a Freeview HD aerial and power go in and a cat Network cable come out. I bought a £150 HDHomeRun CONNECT QUATRO: HDHR5-4DT(UK) My goal is a whole house HD subscription-free PVR replacement for Sky HD. So far, I can't believe how well this new wave of hardware tuners and software works, even with 4K and HDR. I thought I would share my whole house networked Freeview HD recorder experience, to replace a now dead Windows Media Center with two Freesat HD tuners.
