What do you mean? Just pay a subscription fee. Or am I missing something?

That's definitely a good use case. I am totally not into sports and I have a tuner on the network for locals so that's why I don't do it. Honestly, I don't really use the locals much at all.

I mean, I pay for Usenet access.

Look at getting a sas array. They're expandable and hold lots of drives. You can pick one up for around $200

Here's my advice. The most important things are that you have a free GPU slot and another PCIE slot on whatever you get. You're going to want a GPU for transcoding when disk space gets tight. You want the extra PCIE slot for a sas card. Disk shelves are surprisingly cheap, and you can keep adding disk that way. They daisy chain.

As far as the OS, I'm partial to Unraid and Truenas but seriously, anything you are comfortable with will work.

Not criticizing in any way, but what's the attraction of IPTV these days? Aside from sports, I just don't see the attraction. Lots of free sources of live TV out there.

I'm going to move my others to postgres as well. It's dead simple and so much better.

I totally agree. I've been using it on and off since the 90's but I've never known that you can use it with the *arr apps.
