I've got an interesting setup I'd like to share:
So I've got a Raspberry Pi with 4 RTL-SDRs, 2 for TV, 1 for radio, and 1 for plane transponders. That runs SatPi for the 2 TV SDRs, which TVHeadend running on my main server connects to, to record and stream. Jellyfin also connects to TVHeadend to properly index everything and for easy access to recordings and live TV.
Interesting. I have 2 rtl-sdrs that I could repurpose for testing before buying a hdhome run box. How well do the rtl-sdr handle the digital tv channels? Are you using the included intenna or pretuned TV antenna and adapters?
IIRC the RTL chip inside them was originally designed for TV, so it works great! I'm actually using very cheap AliExpress clones for the TV ones, because they otherwise don't work very well.
I'm also using the outdoor TV antenna on my roof (common in Australia, idk elsewhere), and a splitter and adaptors. And with that I get every channel with no artifacts, at 30% strength, but that'll probably be higher with not awful SDRs.
