I wanted to record Jeopardy everyday.

A Tivo subscription was too expensive, so I built my own DVR software to record from Locast. Worked like a charm until Locast shut down.

I had to replace it with a bunch of cron jobs + shell scripts which record using a local TV antenna connected to a NUC.

Puts out nice little mp4 files into a NFS which I can access anywhere in the world over Tailscale.
