My apt complex requires I have basic cable so I have a tuner box hooked up to my tv. Is it possible to use that to setup the dvr function available through the plex pass? if so, how?
I’m 99.9% certain the answer is “no”.
The only way you can use their cable box is to use something like a hauppauge HDPVR and TV headend to read its stream and feed it to Plex. I don’t even know if that integration currently exists. Depending on what they provide though you may be able to use a tuner that can do ClearQAM tunning and get your services. Another option would be to swap the cable box with a cable card with a HD Homerun prime. Depending of if you have to pay for the box the HD Homerun prime may be cheaper.
The effectiveness of each of those options depends on factors with the cable company.
