A Raspberry Pi running Kodi, with a TV receiver add-on, and you can record / play back free-to-air TV and stream iView / SBS On Demand while the tech bros cry. Needs the occasional reboot 🥾

@imrustyokay I don't see why not. Of course, it won't stream Australia's ABC iView nor SBS On Demand (likely IP restricted to Australia), but there's heaps of free streaming services. We also watch Youtube videos on it, if they aren't IP restricted to some other country.

I got a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB memory, a 256GB MicroSD card for storage, and a TV "hat" to plug the antenna into. Installed LibreElec for TV and music. Does the job, best with Bluetooth speakers or USB sound output. Also a nice little wireless keyboard which makes it easier to type in searches.

If I built it again, I'd consider a USB TV receiver (tuner), instead of a "hat" which is an extension card on top of the Pi. It would allow a better case like a passive cooling Argon Neo or Argon One case.

A nice thing about this setup is that there are no ads like a smart TV would have!
