I created 2 somewhat separate topics (see below) hoping to find answers to a broader issue I am facing. The problem is I have more questions now. https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/12446-tvheadend-installation-issues/ https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/12431-dvb-t2-dongle/ I think it is best if I expose what I want to achieve. That way I might have more complete answers. So I have like all of you guys an XPEnology Box along with an Nvidia Shield TV (2017). I would like to be able to see live TV and record on the NAS. For that I need a tuner. Here comes the problem: There doesn't seem to be cheap, natively compatible tuners with DS3615xs. Only expensive ones like the Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD or the PCTV DVB-T2 290e. Those that are cheap require module compiling and I do not want to go down that path as we all know what that means in terms of being future proof. Additionally Synology has clearly stated that DTV Dongle drivers will not longer be update starting DSM 6.2 so even buying expensive USB dongles does not guaranty anything. This leads me to think the following. Maybe it would be best to go for a tuner that is compatible with my Nvidia Shield TV. Basically there are only two namely the HD HomeRun Connect from Silicon Dust (100USD) and the Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD USB tuner (70 USD). We are back to square one: price. Nvidia said they will support more Tuners and possibly single tuners. If that happens then I guess I will take that path but the question remains: How do I use my NAS to store live TV since the tuner would be connected to the Nvidia Shield. Is there are way to use the NAS as a storage for DVR while having the tuner connected to the Shield?
