    Has anyone imported a custom TV tuner into the Live Broadcast section of Jellyfin?  Furthermore, has anyone done this with a software-defined radio (SDR)?  Any other special signal processing hardware needed?  I am hoping to be able to watch networks like TSN or perhaps other local stations without my cable subscription.  Any tips or advice appreciated!  Thanks!

    I have a Hauppage dual USB tuner connected to an OTA antenna which runs through TVHeadEnd and into Jellyfin. Works fine, though I haven't messed with recordings yet. Most of what's needed is a valid M3U for content and XML for schedule/info but I don't think it's made to work with anything other than IPTV or a setup like what I have. In other words, radio likely will not work.

    Thanks! This is a very helpful answer! How do TVHeadEnd and Jellyfin communicate? Are you running a separate VM with TVHeadEnd or can you just install TVHeadEnd into Jellyfin by SSH?
