Hi Terry, > Not quite. All that does is provide a tuner.
Fairly vital. :-) > A top-of-the range PVR provides around 1-2 TB HDD This Pi 5 has their own 2 TB NMVe. But I'd consider having network storage available rather than every device/tablet/TV having its own storage. > a Program Guide and a number of Apps. ... > still wouldn't give me access to Netflix, Prime Video, etc. I don't think you can be alone in wanting these standard features with an open-source offering like Kodi on LibreElec. I see https://github.com/dp247/Freeview-EPG?tab=readme-ov-file dishes up the UK's wireless and TV schedules twice a day. A bit of a search suggests there are ‘add ons’ for Kodi for various IPTV services like Amazon's. I agree it would take research; ideally a good guide for a standard set-up would be found. Are you thinking of a stonkingly big 4K screen at the foot of the bed, ready to topple and flatten you in your sleep, or something more cosy to sit on the side by the Teasmaid? Only sometimes the streaming add-ons can't do the top resolutions. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2026-10-06 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... https://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:[email protected]
