Hi everyone I am new to media boxes, Kodi, and all of this stuff. Recently I bought a Minix X8H+ and love it.

What I am trying to do is watch standard broadcast channels through the Kodi interface. I am talking about standard broadcast cable eg ABC, FOX, etc. nothing illegal or shady. I can easily pull down these channels for free with my HD antenna. The question is, how can I record these shows? I have been trying to get IPTV to work with Kodi but nothing is working.

The best I could do was purchase an HDHomeRun, and download the HDHomeRun addon. But this only allows me to watch, not record -- and that doesn't help because I can already watch these channels for free if I connect the HD antenna to my TV directly. I read online about how you need to rent a cable card for $2/mo so I called my ISP/cable provider (RCN) but they say they will not rent cable cards unless you are paying for a basic cable package (which is $10/mo). But if i have to pay for a basic cable package that kind of defeats the whole point of getting an HD antenna, doesn't it?

Is there something critical that I am missing here? Or is what I want simply not possible?

Thanks for any help
Ali
