Would like to bring my antenna TV into Kodi. I'm currently running Kodi 16 Jarvis on an older laptop (Ubuntu 15.10), connected to my Samsung 32" TV w/ OTA antenna for my local channels via the VGA port on the laptop. With Kodi running in Windowed view it's very easy to switch between the Chrome Browser and Kodi; I would love to be able to add my local stations (St Louis area) into my Kodi as well, but the attempts fail because the Addons don't recognize a tuner. Am I missing something in my Addon search or setup, or has the Addon I'm searching for not been developed yet?

Thank you bry- for the reply. I'm trying not to add any more devices, My Samsung gets the local channels via an antenna now and I can just change the Source on the TV to view the local channels. I was looking for a way for the laptop to recognize the TV's tuner, then use an IPTV client to view the channels. This saves me from having to use a TV remote and a wireless keyboard/mouse. The household has a disabled person and multiple remotes make it difficult. But, you may be right on the additional hardware, that's the solution I keep coming back to. Thanks again.

It's worth it. Also being able to view the live tv feeds on all networked devices might be a plus.
