Yeah same here, I've had a plex server setup for years, I have 1000+ movies and series on it with a folder for holiday music.
 The TV tuner with DVR sounds interesting, I will have to check that out.
I'm switching from cable to fibre oct 4th so will loose my cable DVR box.
my plex server is a Dell 7090 micro form with 16GB ram and 4 terabyte HD.
