Hey all...I just found the forum, which is great! Cause I have a question before I plunge almost $2000 into a NAS.
WD has this new box coming out that's billed to be the perfect fit with Plex and can transcode up to 4 different lines at once. I love it. I'm wanting to get the 32tb version and split it off into a RAID 10 and have 16tb for recording and my movies. WAAAAYYY more than enough room. I currently use a i5 PC with a RAID 10 and 6tb of room. I have around 2tb usually to play with as long as I delete shows as the season finishes.
Here's the WD NAS

Now...I know some times you can and sometimes you can't install these PVRs or other apps/programs onto these boxes. Is this possible? I believe I saw some where people were using the tiny 1 and 2tb WD Clouds with NextPVR but I cant find that info.
Basically I want to do this.... Remove the PC from the equation. I don't like having it run 24/7 and the WOSB app stopped working all the time when I upgraded to Windows 10. the WD NAS is meant to stay on all the time.....so I want to put Plex and NextPVR in it and have it there,,,at all times for me to access. I have the HDHomeRunPrime that brings my TV into the network so that'd be the source going into the NextPVR.
What's the verdict? Possible? Not possible? Need to wait and see? I think they are about to start selling this and it's not out. Any links out there to video or documentation on how I can access the DVR and add or remove programs if this is possible? Anything!
I appreciate it guys! I've been using this program for a year and it's wonderful! I was planning on buying the HDHomeRun guys DVR but at that price and the way it doesnt work...nope.
Thanks again! Hoping I posted in the correct location....if not...move me around, toss me over
