# Live Broadcast
|
|
|
|
Jellyfin allows you to watch and record live television using supported hardware, as well as listen to internet radio. The first step is setting up a tuner to send data to Jellyfin, and then configure a source for the program guide data.
|
|
|
|
See the [Live TV setup guide](/docs/general/server/live-tv/setup-guide) for detailed instructions.
|
|
|
|
## Tuner
|
|
|
|
Jellyfin has support for the following tuners:
|
|
|
|
- HDHomeRun
|
|
- M3U
|
|
|
|
HDHomeRun is a special case because they will usually get detected automatically by the server. Otherwise you can manually add tuners by navigating to **Live TV** in the settings and adding one there.
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
|
|
Docker users using HDHomeRun devices should set networking to host mode as Jellyfin needs to connect to a changing UDP port.
|
|
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
M3U allows you to add IPTV channel playlists which you can view and record.
|
|
|
|
Additional tuner types are available via plugins.
|
|
|
|
## Guide
|
|
|
|
Guide data will need to be mapped to their corresponding channels after a guide data provider is configured. The guide data formats below are included with the server:
|
|
|
|
- Schedules Direct
|
|
- XMLTV
|
|
|
|
[Schedules Direct](http://www.schedulesdirect.org) is a paid service providing electronic program guide data to the United States and Canada.
|
|
|
|
[XMLTV](http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/Main_Page) is "... an XML based file format for describing TV listings. IPTV providers use XMLTV as the base reference template in their systems and extend it internally according to their business needs."
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
You can view the status of each tuner connected to the server in the settings. There are also buttons to manually refresh the tuners if they experience problems.
|
|
|
|
The guide data can be refreshed manually if you run into problems. This isn't normally required since the data is refreshed periodically.
