Please help, I will donate. So much info out there and get into the weeds.

CURRENT CONFIG:

  • I have an Older UnSmart TV (RCA-Great TV) with AMAZON FIRESTICK on HDMI2.

  • Have downloaded most of the APPS like TUBI, HULU, DISCOVERY, PLUTO, etc. Have not subscribed to any of them yet. Only can view the free ones. We are still trying to find our regular programs that we currently record on DTV (HDMI3).

  • DTV is hooked up to HDMI3. I want to drop DTV and go STREAM full time.

  • Not hooked up to any antenna.
NEEDED CRITERIA:

  • RECORD & SCHEDULE SERIES PROGRAMS such as NCIS, DR.PHIL, OAK ISLAND, Newsmax, etc.. ON THE TV to WATCH ON TV.

  • RECORD ON THE SPOT & WILL RECORD TO BEGINNING IF APPLICABLE.

  • MUST PAUSE, REWIND, SKIP COMMERCIALS (while I have time saved up by watching rewinded content by about an hour, I assume, like my current situation).

  • DITTO NEW CONFIGURATION for HUSBAND UPSTAIRS.
Q1: What hardware do I need?

Q2: Is Media Portal applicable to my situation?

THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS & ASSIDUOUS.

Patty

    Sorry to disappoint you but Media Portal only offers recording and scheduled recording for TV broadcast over SAT, Cable or OTA. It does support viewing of some streamed content, Netflix and Amazon Prime I believe and a host of free content dependant on your location, e.g. BBC in the UK and German Channels in Germany via the Online Videos plugin.
    Looking at your criteria I doubt Media Portal will meet your requirements, but maybe someone else here has a more positive message.
