I recently started using Channels DVR to use my YouTube TV streaming as well as my Philo streaming accounts with their TV Everywhere which allows me to stream and record from YouTube TV and Philo with my HD Homerun tuner. Actually, you don’t even need the HD Homerun for TV Everywhere but since it can’t record local channels from YouTube TV, it records them from my HD Homerun Quatro which I could record through Plex as well. Since it does a better job with stability, I use it to record all the network stuff ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. The CW and lesser channels I run through Plex and the Hauppauge tuners. Are there any plans on developing a function similar with Plex making it an even more inclusive all-in-one media source? My set up is I have the recordings from Channels DVR go into a folder that then processes it with MCEBuddy removing commercials and converting them to MKV format. It then places it in my DVR Recordings folder on Plex along with the recordings from Plex not on the TV Everywhere system that record with my Hauppauge tuner. Again they go into MCEBuddy and are processed going to the same DVR Recording folder. In essence, I have two places I have to go to pick what I want recorded, but only one for what I want to watch which is on Plex. It would be nice to have everything contained in one suite so I don’t have to jump between two programs to set up recordings. Thanks for your thoughts. Here’s the info on Channels DVR in case you’re unfamiliar… Channels DVR Plus
