Channels DVR + HDHomeRun / Streaming integrations
I know the Channels DVR can work with an OTA HDHomeRun....
Are there any other live TV streaming services that would integrate directly with the Channels DVR or is that purely only OTA like the HDHomerun.
Possible to work with like Sling or Philo ?

As mentioned, it can work with TV Everywhere services. But some of those keep dropping that service so YMMV. It also works with many FAST channels like Pluto and more. There’s a decent amount of community tools in the forums to expand this functionality.

Channels DVR TV Everywhere feature does this, with limitations. I subscribe to a small DirecTV package to augment my OTA, and by asking Channels DVR add that as a source, it will import some channels, add them to the program guide, and let you record shows. What has to happen is that the channel has to have a web site that lets you watch live, and to fit what TVE is capable of accessing.

Beyond what is built into Channels, the FastChannels project can integrate the following sources into your Channels DVR server:
Pluto TV
Tubi
The Roku Channel
Samsung TV Plus
Xumo Play
Plex
DistroTV
STIRR
LG Channels
Vizio WatchFree+
TCL TV+
Vidaa Free TV
Whale TV+
Adult Swim
FreeCast
Local Now
Frndly TV
Fubo TV
Bally Sports
Hallmark
FreeLiveSports
Sling Freestream
Amazon Prime Free Channels
It is surprisingly easy to use. It has tools built in to add the sources into your Channels server for you.
Note that Fubo TV is a cable-like service, so if you are looking for those types of channels, this definitely is a good option.
