Hi All,
Long time Kodi (XBMC) user in the UK. I have recently upgraded to an Nvidia Shield Pro (2019) to replace a Minix Neo after many years of good service & I am very pleased with my purchase. I am now interested in purchasing an HD Homerun (Duo or Quattro) & I am seeing contradictory answers when I search for info. In a nutshell I wish to connect an HD Homerun to my router & watch Live TV on the Shield & also record Live TV. I want to know if this can be done?
The Wiki states that it can't be done on Android (https://kodi.wiki/view/PVR_recording_software) but there seem to be plenty of users who are doing it hence the confusion. My media is connected to a PC on my network & it streams perfectly, I don't want to spend £150 on the HD Homerun & not be able to use it with the Shield.
From what I can gather I need a backend (such as TVHeadend) & a front end (there seems to be a suitable Kodi add-on) but I'm not sure whether it works with a Shield?
Can anybody give me any pointers please before I pull the trogger on the purchase.
Thank you.
