After about 4 years of my multi-HTPC + Server setup I have decided to tone it back a bit and look at some ways to simplify things. I switched from Home server to a DS213j Synology NAS that houses my movie files. I have two HTPCs remaining, the main I use to schedule OTA recordings, guide and live TV with a HDhomerun backend. This HTPC also hosts my Emby server that I use to organize everything and make it look pretty. I am switching the second HTPC to a Roku 3 running the emby app.
What I would love to get to is no HTPC's and only run something simple like a Roku at each TV with the possibility of TV guide/recording happening in the back end. But this is where I am stuck. I have looked at Tablo and it seams to have a lot of mixed reviews, I have looked at integrating live TV into Emby and I have considered upgrading my Synology to run the TV trascoding through that for the Roku's using DS video.
Also, I would like to note that I would love to keep it at a NAS and not build a new server to run something like Plex.
Does any one have any suggestions or have gone down this road?
Thanks!
