I don't mean to hijack the thread, but is there a hardware option that would allow an app to control access to your antenna (Like on a roku) and DVR type functions, or are you basically committing to using your TV tuner when you go with an antenna?
You are not hijacking. That's part of the theme of OTA. Various solutions have been discussed upthread.
The one I am using is Tablo. https://www.tablotv.com/
I hook the antenna to it, then use my various Rokus around the house to tune in. I can record and replay. I supposedly can view remotely too, but I haven't tried that.
The biggest problem with Tablo is the uncertainty regarding ATSC 3.0, which we were discussing earlier. It is unclear whether Tablo will ever have a solution that works with ATSC 3.0 in a way that allows remote access via any Roku in the house. They tried (and failed) with a product that had to be directly hooked to the TV. Very few buyers wanted that. People want the ability to use it from anywhere.
Actually, my Tablo is in the corner of the room with attic access for my attic placed antenna. My TVs are nowhere close to it.
