What's the best way to watch live TV on jellyfin?

I've been trying to set it up, but I'm struggling a bit.. Too many different options and services (nextpvr, tv headed, enigma2, EPG, HDhomerun etc)

Whats the most reliable way to watch TV on jellyfin?

I've tried searching reddit Google and YouTube etc, but nothing worth while came up..

Also don't mind paying for a service provider if you have good recommendations

Main use case US&Europe channels

Thanks for the help!

I have a HD Homerun Prime, cable card from my provider, and use a container that scrapes an open channel guide to get program information. If you are looking to do real dvr functionality you may opt to pay for programming information. Setup works well for me, they stopped selling the prime, but you can probably find them on eBay. Their OTA tuner works the same I suspect.
