I went from paying SchedulesDirect $25/yr to hack an EPG into a series of dead & dying DVR software platforms (SageTV, WMC, etc).... To just doing the one-time Plex lifetime sub for $70ish.

It has more than paid for itself at this point... If they reneg an make it expensive someday in the future, maybe then I'll reconsider Jellyfin.
