CordCutters is a place for those who have cut the Cable or Satellite TV cord, and want to know what other legal services are available. No piracy talk please, it could get the person posting it in trouble with the authorities and could get the community banned on some servers, so please only talk about products and services that are legal to use.

I'm not affiliated with the site nor am I the artist, I just find communities without icons jarring. It's like an OCD or something, so I'm just trying to help.

Freesat → MythTV would be useful. But with what hardware? (infosec.pub)

I bought a Silicondust HD Homerun back before they put their website on Cloudflare. I love the design of having a tuner with a cat5 port, so the tuner can work with laptops and is not dependent on being installed into a PC.

But now that Silicondust is part of Cloudflare, I will no longer buy their products. I do not patronize Cloudflare patrons.

I would love to have a satellite tuner in a separate external box that:

  • tunes into free-to-air content
  • has a cat5 connection
  • is MythTV compatible

Any hardware suggestions other than #Silicondust?

Watch local channels without cable or an antenna? (lemmy.sdf.org)

My parents live in an area without good tv antenna reception, but don't want to get cable for just local channels. Is there a way over the internet to get local channels that isn't cable or an antenna? Preferably with a Roku or something like that, but not necessary, just not overly complicated. I see that pluto.tv has some large cities, but obviously not more local than that.

Hi all! I have been using Emby for about a year now, but I was wondering, after the recent botnet debacle with Emby, if I should switch my media provider.

Anyone have experience with all 3? I really only have experience with Emby.

Some things that I'm interested in:

  • Automatic file management is a plus
  • Multiple users on mobile devices
  • Roku apps
