I figured I could sell my BOLT, BOLT VOX, and two TiVo Mini VOX units (all have lifetime) and get some good money out of them. If I really wind up liking Channels there is an $80 per year option too.
I've also found some other options for the DVR software. You get a free trial month with Channels though so I will probably try it. So the TiVos will be staying in my house for the foreseeable future unless I decide to try Emby and like it.Įdited for fat fingers in original post from my iPhone.Ĭlick to expand.Looking into Channels DVR and finding that there is no lifetime subscription option has miffed me a bit. Evidently it’s been a bug on and off for more than two years. There is no way to quickly fast forward or rewind.Īnd then there is the clincher. Well it’s great when it works which is about 20% of the time or less. Then there is the touted commercial removal.
The interface looks like something from ten years ago. The sorting and ordering of programs is bad too, and there is no summary or title for each recording until you actually select and go into the show you are going to watch. Then on top of that the program’s icon doesn’t get removed until you refresh or reopen the DVR menu so it looks like the program was not actually deleted. Then in the PLEX app on your clients it takes at least six clicks and multiple menus before you uncover the delete button. For example, to delete a DVR recording you have to first enable deletion by clients from the server. PLEX’s interface is just garbage to start with. The only thing I was missing was a tuner so I picked up an HDHOMERUN Quattro to try it all out. So I realized that I already had everything I need to run PLEX DVR last week a powerful NAS with PLEX Server, PLEX Pass, an NVidia Shield on every TV, all on a wired network.
