So looks like these streaming app providers have us over a barrel with the lack of free guide data in Australia and having the DVR as a paid feature. Looked at Emby last month due to unreliable Plex guide data, but still have to pay to get DVR service and have to provide your own guide data in Australia as well.
Apathy had me paying Plex monthly, but not prepared to pay for a DVR feature without guide data, so looks like I’ll have to crank up my old Webgrab+ / ArgusTV system that I replaced with the Plex DVR and cancel the Plex subscription. Not using any of the other Plex “Premium” features. I originally went with Plex premium before the DVR Service became available for the family profile features, but other family members are not using it, so no point continuing with it.
Was having issues with webgrab guide reliability, one of the reasons I stopped using it. Maybe can just take out the icetv XMLTV subscription, hopefully will work with ArgusTV, and overall cost cheaper than Plex subscription. Plex / Emby just become players at that point without getting locked into a paid DVR feature.
BTW, I seem to remember that ArgusTV can populate the guide from the OTA data.
