Network PVR?

[Doofus]

I don't know if I've just invented this, I doubt it...

What are my options for recording TV to a NAS, or a networked PVR so recordings can be watched on any smart telly in the house?

OK, that's a detailed (if slightly incomprehensible) answer

It sounds like its beyond me, and too much hassle. I guess I'm better off getting another PVR so the wife can have one, and I can have the other.

You could build a PC to act as a media server and fit it with a number of TV tuners. You can set it to record stuff and then play back on Smart TVs around the house.

I have a Humax HDR Fox-T2 PVR which is loaded with custom firmware which allows it to decrypt the recordings. It's shared across the network and the content can be played back on any device supporting DNLA. I can also transfer the recordings off it onto my media server for archiving. Whilst it's old, I still think (with the custom firmware) it's the best Freeview PVR available.

That's the PVR I've got too. I guess that means I'm going to have to immerse myself in that "my hummy" forum to learn about firmware...
