I am looking for the best option to watch live tv over a Simple.TV device
If you own one could you explain your setup.
Having just bought one used at a real deep discount (hope it works) and not received it yet I don't know much else about it at this time ..
it is suppose to work with chromecast roku plex and web.
I do know they are not the same as a silicon dust network tuners.
At this point I do not have devices at my TVs (roku chromecast .. ) since I am still transitioning from Cable to OTA and still have basic cable on the tvs.
My home isn't wired with cat5... I have a wifi router but its pretty weak and slow.
I also have a pretty good archive of tv shows in MP4 format that I have been capturing with a TV Card.
The Archive is saved on an external drive hooked to my desktop computer.
I will want to access that from my TVs through a windows share along with the live ota tv from the simple.tv
Need something really easy to use.. older relatives in the home who do not use computers.
Although I might just setup OTA for them and have the other stuff for myself.. either way needs to be easy and real cheap.
thanks a lot.
