Hey! I am looking for an easier way to stream live TV, specifically sports. Currently we access streams via freemediaheckyeah on an Intel NUC which has Linux, Firefox and a keyboard and mouse, HDMI to TV.

I have a proxmox server in another location which has Plex, jellyfin, Debian and some other stuff. We cast from our phones to the Chromecast.

I'm wondering if there's a way I can eliminate the living room NUC and stream from my proxmox server to a Chromecast. Or something similar that removes the keyboard mouse browser combo. Looking for reducing power and heat usage partly and simplicity.

I've just looked into Tivimate. This might be the route for you. But I don't have a good IPTV source.

hypnotix exist and can stream some things most likely only in your local country, so consider that.

You could plug your stream directly in Jellyfin or via threadfin for jelly / plex

Is MythTV still a thing? That's what we used to do, powered by a satellite dish. But we watched less and less TV over the years until we didn't even notice that the corner where we moved our TV to couldn't reach the antenna cable.

Is freemediaheckyeah an IPTV service? Plex or Jellyfin can manage IPTV streams. Plex needs additional software (e.g., xTeVe) to take an m3u playlist and convert it into a tuner.

Where do you find a more reputable IPTV service? Searching for them shows a lot of questionable sites that I'm not eager to give my info to.

You could host something like IPTVnator on your Proxmox server: https://github.com/4gray/iptvnator
