Hello All,
I am currently new this software and I am looking to use it to replace my PLEX setup. However, I am looking to add all the bells and whistles to this new home media setup I am going for.
My question is about about live TV. I am based in the UK, and want to be able to watch Freeview channels via this software. (Basically I want everything in a single location) I am aware I will need a TV card and tuner software to watch TV on the PC. My question is about deciding which TV card to go for.
I want to be able to use a remote control with the software, so I can use it like a normal media center and a sky box for example. Am I right in thinking, I am better off buying a TV card without a remote, and then buying a dedicated remote control device for the PC, which I am hoping will be able to control the Kodi software and the live channels? (once all is configured manually using the mouse)
The base PC that will be home to the master Kodi Server is not yet configured. I was hoping to use 2012 R2. But I am happy to use any OS that will support the use of a remote and Kodi.
Thanks
