We've always had a single device to do everything in our house. Right now here is the system we have that works great: a single raspberry pi 3 B+ with a Hauppauge 1578 USB tuner, a usb hard drive for recordings and tvheadend server for PVR... It works well but the kids are getting older and we want to have our tvheadend server on a separate device so we can stream from the PVR to another networked TV in the basement.
So I set this system up yesterday for trials:
PVR & Live TV device/server - raspberry pi 2 b+ with hauppauge 1578 tuner and tvheadend server and usb hard drive.
front end - raspberry pi 3 b+ with kodi for the frontend.
- router is TP-Link with 100 Gbps rating
But live TV would keep buffering every 10 seconds... recordings were choppy
So I'm wondering where the bottleneck might be?
- router?
- ethernet ports on the raspberry pi's?
- elsewhere?
I'm hoping someone else has a similar system set up successfully for OTA and can recommend what I need to replace, thanks for reading!
