As a long-term MythTV user, I read all the discussion about Plex vs Jellyfin, but I’m still here… recording Live TV, watching films, listening to “me choonz” all on free, open-source software. What am I missing? Any other MythTV users out there?

    I still have a virtualized back end in the basement and a NUC frontend on the TV, but mostly use Netflix and jellyfin these days.

      How well doea the NUC perform as a Frontend? I have a small TV in a spare room which could benefit from a separate Frontend…

        It works fine. It’s probably overkill because I had intended to use it for some light gaming at one point but never actually did. It has an i5 and 16G of RAM and has never any issues with playback. I upgraded to it because the Atom/Ion one it replaced had issues with some blu-rays that I had ripped.
