Ideal lightweight setup… - Dcompton - 2025-07-18
Hello all,
I am new to self hosting and have a question. I recently dumped the “Live” portion of Hulu and wanted a cable free solution for local network channels. I had an old Hauppauge 950Q laying around the parts box along with a Raspi 4. I built a TVHeadend/Jellyfin box solely for the purpose of getting OTA live tv to the smart TVs in the house. I have everything working, but the stream is sort of glitchy and stuttering. I have a small form factor intel machine running Ubuntu. Should I start over and use that instead? Keep in mind, I don’t need DVR or access to stored media. I am only doing this to DIY a HDHomerun nox basically. Thanks!
