Are they any self hosted dvr programs? I have a cable set-top box that I would like to record programs while I'm away. Yes I can pay to enable the dvr functionality from my cable provider but I'm cheap and would like my shows available to any computer in the house and not just the one hooked up to set-top device. Do I need specific hardware like a TV tuner card to integrate into my pc? All I see is all in one systems being sold for OTA channels of which I have none available where I am. Would be a bonus if it worked with jellyfin. Is anybody still doing this stuff or has everyone just moved on to the arr stack?

I use Jellyfin with a TV tuner on the network

Am I correct in assuming your only using an OTA antenna for your tuner? I guess I'm having a hard time figuring out how I might hook up my cable settop box that only has a ethernet port for its signal ( not coax) probably screwed anyways because of the drm that they prob would have to strip out somehow..

I don't pay for cable or streaming services. The OTA is all I need.

For cable you need DRM free raw signal. It sounds like your box doesn't have that. Maybe try calling the cable company and asking for a coax cable for your TV. You also need a special HD homerun device
