I want to record live tv OTA antenna (PVR), I have a HDhomerun quatro (4ch tuner), a couple different android based TV box's.
I am not sure how to get this going?
Almost everything on FTA is available via online "catch-up" services that are free.
I just use my PC hooked up to my 65inch TV and use the Brave web browser, everything via Brave web browser has the advertisements filtered out, so when you watch something on "catchup" it's like its been PERFECTLY edited for you without the adverts.
https://brave.com/ <- Best browser, to not get adverts make sure you have "shields up"
I mostly only watch catchup services for the local news to watch it advert free.. frock "fast-forwarding" with a PVR, that is a dying business.
I can just bring up the local nightly news bulletins/current affairs shows in a single click via an air-mouse.

^For these local news "catchups" the channel Seven nightly news seems to be the fastest to release their nightly bulletin for online stream watching, but all up they are all a tad slow to upload it after going live. All of the local stream live as well.
Major live news stream channels in Full-HD 1080p with time-scale slider-bar rewind ability, so you never can miss anything.

^There isn't ANY reason why ABC Australia can't live stream in full-HD 1080p to YouTube, they are just cunts playing power-play games trying to force everyone on super-blocky/grainy video iView.

You can also catchup on news via Twitter and Facebook, as far as I have noticed everything on their nightly bulletins are on their Twitter/Facebook channels

I either use a regular wireless mouse from the sofa or I use an "air-mouse".
There are tons of different air-mouse designs, they tend to be universally compatible with any device that accepts generic mouse/keyboard. Some include scroll-wheels, and the ability to IR learn to turn on TVs/AV-receivers etc.

I like the MX3, I have used it to teach via IR learning to turn on my 2 tvs and AV receiver.
I also have the Windows 10 OSK app (On-Screen Keyboard) pinned which is pretty convenient rather than hitting keys for light keyword searching.

As for the Android boxes, some of those are getting pretty fast these days, I have been interested in getting one and trying out using Brave or some other web browser that has good adblocker support and continuing to just access all "TV" via the web browser.. Having everything you frequently watch bookmarked so you can bring it up in a single click is just much easier for me. I don't like or believe in having an app for every service, I think it's dumb and messy.
I also have a second smaller side TV plugged into my PC, so I can bring up something on Netflix or some social media video and "drag n drop" the browser-tab to my second side TV and let it play and continuing browsing what I am doing on my main TV.
I am typing this message up now from my sofa on my 65inch TV with YouTube streaming to my side TV.
It's a 4k 65inch TV but I use Windows 10 scaling at 200% so that all the text is easily readable from a distance.
4k resolution at 200% scaling is essentially 1080p sized text/fonts etc but sharper. Or if I haven't been watching anything in 4k lately I just run the screen res at 1080p.
