...otherwise you could just switch inputs on your TV and use an antenna and just do things the old fashioned way and everything would be simpler and cheaper (but less functional).

   The only thing I watch genuinely live is severe weather reports and that is through an antenna. Anything else and I have a nice buffer of show recorded so I never have to sit through commercials. Done it that way since my first Tivo back in the last century.

Sadly I don't own TVs.  I just gave the kids monitors so they could swap between DVI for computer and HDMI for SkyStream media client.  And in one case, I have one child who uses his tablet as it has a hdmi out.  In all cases, Andriod and Kodi are the front end which worked well with MythTV.
