HDHomeRun + Plex setup questions

I want to ditch my TV providers entirely. I've bought an antenna and it's picking up 40+ local channels perfectly. I want to buy an HDHomeRun Flex 4K to stream this antenna signal to all the TVs in my house via my existing Plex server. Will Plex allow me to watch live TV remotely when I'm away from home, or does it only work on the local network?

I finally did it. Cancelled DirecTV after 15 years.

It feels liberating! My bill had crept up to $210/month just to watch local sports and maybe 4 other channels. I bought a Roku Ultra and signed up for YouTube TV for $73. Saving almost $140 a month. Why didn't I do this sooner? What was your final straw that made you cut the cord?

Kanopy has an incredible collection of A24 films, documentaries, and Criterion Collection movies completely free with no ads. You just need your library card number to sign up.

Antenna recommendation for attic installation? (TV Fool report included)

I'm trying to pull in my local ABC and CBS stations that are about 45 miles away over fairly flat terrain. I don't want to mount anything on the roof if I can avoid it. Here is my Rabbitears/TV Fool report. Will a Televes DAT BOSS function well inside an attic with a standard asphalt shingle roof?

YouTube TV vs. Hulu + Live TV for Sports in 2026?

I need a live TV replacement primarily for NFL (RedZone is a must), NBA, and college football. I've narrowed it down to YTTV and Hulu Live. Which one actually offers the better sports package now, including picture quality? I've heard Hulu forces you into standard Hulu ads even on the Live plan, is that true?
