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'm confused. Isn't mythtv just TV tuner software or something? Which would still require a cable subscription? Plex and jellyfin do not operate on the same playing field. Jellyfin is also FOSS FWIW.

You can just watch over the air channels

Oh right, aren't those all basically trash though? Like a few news channels and some talk shows?

No. Maybe it is where you're located, but for me it's fine.

Movies come from the high seas, so I'm not too worried about them, but there's some good stuff on terestrial TV definitely
