That way you can choose virtually any Kodi media player box that does hardware deinterlacing and it makes upgrading the Kodi Box easier in the future.
You can also leave the TV server device on 24/7 if the box is a low power consumption one. Makes (smart) scheduling of recordings and more a LOT easier.
There are many cost effective options for a TV server. People are using old RPi's. Fanless Mini PC's, NAS's running TvHeadend servers and more recently those dirt cheap AMLogic S905 boxes running LibreELEC and special media_build edition's of LE Kodi. Those media_build's support modern DVB tuners, when used on old AMLogic Linux Kernels.
Oh and by the way on all Android AMLogic platforms, Hardware deinterlacing for TV viewing is broken when using Kodi Krypton due to AMLogic's implementation of the Android mediacodec decoder not being up to Spec. AML LibreELEC Krypton still works.
What is the impact of not having Hardware deinterlacing for TV viewing?
