Anybody here have pointers for setting up streaming of local broadcast television channels via Jellyfin? The guide on the website is decent but I’m at a bit unsure of what TV tuner to get that would work with the Linux box that runs my Jellyfin server

Your Favorite Local T.V Channel?

As someone who's dirt poor, we don't have cable. You know what we do have? An actual tv antenna. Old-school. But we still get good channels: ABC, CBS, NBC, KTLA and FOX.

But my FAVORITE channels... Are actually some pretty obscure ones. Here's a list:

COMET: Regularly airs old sci Fi movies and B horror movies, along with the sci Fi tv classics like Stargate SG-1, Star trek and Babylon 5. 10/10, my fave channel. I've seen Carrie, Twins of Evil, and Labyrinth, and some other good Steven King stuff on there.

H&I: Heroes and Icons. Lots of old school adventure type shows including : Hercules, Xena the Warrior Princess, all the Star treks, and lots of police dramas from the '90s.

ION TV: "positive entertainment". That's hilarious because they regularly air Criminal Minds. I've also seen TNT's Leverage on this channel, and Psych. During the holidays, this channel basically turns into our local Hallmark channel with all the "there was only one bed" Christmas romance tropes we could ask for.

Justice: CRIME TV EXTRAVAGANZA. Basically a lot of older true crime shows. Right now, they're airing something called Most Evil, but I've also seen Dr.G Medic Examiner. My mom has recently gotten into true crime podcasts, so this channel really supplements her (who am I kidding our, lol) obsession with real life cases from 10+ years ago

Quest: I've recently discovered this channel, but it seems to be a local HISTORY type channel. They show a version of "how it's made" called Factory Made and Mystery Quest which is a docuseries about various mysteries around the world.

BOUNCE: our local version of BET. I've seen a lot of good black movies on this channel, stuff I never even knew existed. They also have various daytime soaps/ dramas.

NHK: great Japanese channel with a world news segment, also has documentaries and travel shows.

So those are my fave Local Channels I watch without Cable! Any other cable free households have a fave channel? I'd love to meet a fellow Comet Fan!

New England Emmy-winning Seasoned with Spirit offers viewers a culinary celebration of America’s bounty and combines Native-American history and culture with delicious, healthy recipes inspired by indigenous foods.

Much more than a cooking series, it’s a cultural adventure across the American landscape, where viewers meet Native-American peoples, see their environs, learn their history and traditions, and, best of all, sample their cuisine. Seasoned with Spirit is enhanced with a stirring musical score featuring today’s top Native-American artists.

Loretta Barrett Oden, a renowned Native-American chef, food historian, lecturer and proud woman of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, hosts the series. With her infectious humor and unstoppable enthusiasm, Loretta travels around the country to immerse herself in the lives and traditions of numerous Native-American tribes.

She blends her passion for delectable food with engaging storytelling to create a series for viewers of all backgrounds. From simple comfort foods such as sassafras shrimp gumbo to more exotic dishes such as grilled buffalo tenderloin topped with chokecherry jus, Seasoned with Spirit presents a culinary palette for every taste and a taste for every palate. Beyond food, fun and history, the series also has a greater purpose.

During the past 30 years, Native-American peoples have experienced an alarming rise in obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Some tribes, such as the Tohono O’odham in Arizona, have seen 70 percent of their population develop the disease. Tribal people, like many of the nation’s citizens, have incorporated inexpensive processed foods into their diet — with disastrous health consequences.

Seasoned with Spirit attempts to confront the problem by encouraging Native Americans and the rest of the country to reconnect with the natural foods of our heritage … those from the land. Buying and preparing food from local growers is always a healthy option, and as this series demonstrates, more and more Native-American tribes are recognizing the benefits of using traditional foods.

FCC inspector general examining whether chairman Ajit Pai colluded with Sinclair Broadcast Group

Democrats say Pai won't answer questions about his contacts with the right-leaning media company

February 16, 2018--FCC chairman Ajit Pai has been questioned as to whether he colluded with Sinclair Broadcast Group, a conservative local television company, in order to gain "greater consolidation in the industry." Chairman Pai has yet to respond to the questions or allegations. However, the article points out that Ajit Pai used to be an attorney for Verizon. This raises the question of Pai's motives in regards to net neutrality or why he would be in contact with a broadcasting company. As chairman of the FCC, shouldn't Ajit Pai be objective and stay away from an entities that could paint him as biased?
