Like with our dizqueTV setup, we will be using the directory /home/docker/plex-share/ as a shared volume for xTeVe, and will contain a directory where our EPG XMLTV files will be stored. Like with dizqueTV, I like to organize my docker container directories into a home folder, so we need to create the new home folder for the xTeVe container.

This EPG data will be used for our HDHomeRun OTA TV guide. The container we will be using for the xTeVe setup is by dnsforge and is located here: We are using this container because it contains Zap2XML support that will be used to scrap the EPG/guide/XMLTV data from or. Like the previous setup with dizqueTV, this will be done on Ubuntu 18.04.3 using docker containers. Since HDHomeRun does not provide its own EPG information, we will get that information from either creating a free account at or. This setup requires a little bit of extra work because of the way Plex handles EPG (electronic program guide) and only lets you use EPG from a single source, so we will need to use another program called xTeVe in order to "merge" both our dizqueTV streams and EPG information with our HDHomeRun stream. If you have a Plex Pass subscription, Plex can be setup to integrate with TV Tuner so you can watch your OTA TV using Plex and also schedule Plex to record OTA TV.įor this post, I will be going through the setup for integrating Plex with an HDHomeRun TV tuner in order to watch your over-the-air (OTA) channels, while also having the custom channels previously setup in dizqueTV. If you use Plex and watch TV by watching any of the over-the-air (OTA) channels in your area, then I highly recommend picking up one of the HDHomeRun TV tuners. For what is essentially "Part 1", read Creating custom "TV channel" streams in Plex using dizqueTV.
