Thanks for your reply. You're probably right about me being in the wrong section here. I've just ordered the Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD from Amazon and will give it a try and see if it's the right fit for my use case.

Please forgive me if this question has already been answered in this way. I tried to look at it beforehand in my research and at least I could not find the exact answer to my question. First, the preconditions: I would like to watch TV with Plex running on Unraid. Plex runs in the official Docker container. I have looked at the Plex documentation (https://support.plex.tv/articles/225877427-supported-dvr-tuners-and-antennas/) on the supported tuners. Since I'm in Germany, I'm leaning towards a Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD or a Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD simply because I expect at least 2 people to be watching TV at the same time. Possibly also sometimes simultaneously a video recording, therefore possibly directly the quadHD. As far as I have understood correctly, I just have to install the plugin here and make sure that as soon as in Unraid the tuner is detected correctly this can also be configured in Plex. Now I've read that the Hauppauge tuners are sometimes not optimal. On the one hand, they can become very hot when running for a long time or, for example, switching between channels can be very slow. Is there a better solution here or are my concerns unjustified? Who has experience here?

I'm currently planing on building myself an NAS. That being the case I wanted to try out Unraid. So far I really like it because of it's user friendliness and how easy it is getting started. But one thing is bothering me and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. For testing purpose I'm using my old Desktop PC. The hardware is not really up to date but still seems to do it's job. I'm planning on buying new hardware in the next weeks. I have a 12 TB HDD (new) and using an old 120GB SSD as a cache drive. If I'm moving some files from my windows PC I get about 80 MB/s But while moving a single test file from my MacBook I get about 15 MB/s Really slow. In both cases the Cache is being used. I attached a diagnostic file created while I transferred a 10 GB test file from my MacBook. tower-diagnostics-20200716-2041.zip
