r/ChannelsDVR: Anything and everything Channels DVR. Join our subreddit!
Now I’m paying about $6 to Channels and $20 for Philo together with OTA merged into one guide/DVR. $26 vs $140 and I have what I watch. If I want to kick in another service for a few months I can do that and my user experience and DVR library persist.

I use ChannelsDVR as my main server for TV. You can have multiple HDHomerun as sources and even better you can have multiple TVE logins so if you have something with an in home stream limit you can switch to the TVE Channel and bypass it. Except Sling, I think sling counts TVE streams as streams. mordeci00. • 2 yr. ago.
Count me in for Channels DVR. I cut the cord from Sling recently, bought a HDHomerun Prime dual-tuner for $45 on eBay, and get 27 channels. To top that off, I LOVE that the Channels DVR lets you add TV Everywhere stations. Called my mom up, got her dish password, and added 150 more channels, practically everything you'd get in a primo cable ...
What I've come up with has some cost to it (I know, not ideal) but provides a pretty solid experience. I use Channels DVR ($6/month or $60/year) to turn my TV Everywhere Login (free, credentials of a parent) and Locast ($5/month) and PlutoTV (free) into an M3u that features 200+ channels including things like ESPN, HGTV, CNN, all my local ...
I don't like how it won't work with Roku at all, unlike Plex. Plex: Pros: one time payment, works on Roku, guide continues to play current channel. Cons: glitchy at times. Channels: Pros: TV Everywhere integration, channels load super fast, no glitches. Cons: annual fee, no Roku support, guide doesn't show channel playing.
Channels is primarily a DVR. It will integrate various "TV" streaming sources like an HDHR OTA tuner box and TV streaming services like YouTube-TV, Hulu-TV, Sling-TV, etc. But it won't search across the steaming services for content you want. The Nvidia Shield will do that.
Depending on your area, not all local channels may be available (a DTV/TVE issue, not Channels), but adding and integrating a HDHomeRun will resolve that. And no, not every single channel on DTV or other linear service is available on TVE. Again, this is a licensing issue, not a Channels one though. 1.
All the Channels DVR recordings are as-broadcast, in standard .mpg format. You can easily access the Shield over your network to transfer files to your PC or just shut the Shield down, pull the USB HDD and plug it into your PC -- its NTFS formatted. Shield Pro = $200. 1TB USB HDD = $40. Locast = $5.50/mo.
