It would be nice to be able to integrate my IPTV with my OTA viewing on one box so I was wondering if any of the android boxes natively supports a USB ota tuner. If so which box and what tuner? I don't see any info about any of them supporting an OTA tuner, but I was hoping that somebody might know of one. I know that I can install and apk that will allow me to watch OTA on the andriod box but I was hoping for an integrated approach. You know less for the wife and kids to have to learn.

I appreciate the suggestions and the attempt at help but everything you have suggested seems to be windows (pc) based. I was looking for something that would work seamlessly with and on an android box. Anybody have any thoughts. Surely some of you must run your android box and have an ota antenna for your locals. How do you do it?

kind of pricey to not have a live tv app

I used to just switch to the TV tuner when I wanted my locals. And then back to HDMI input for my android box. Super simple honestly. However, I find I rarely use my OTA any more, since pretty much all my locals are also available on my IPTV service. Being in Montreal, I also get a number of the Vermont and NY PBS channels with OTA, and those are the only ones I occasionally switch to HDMI/OTA to tune into occasionally. For the other locals (ctv, cbc, city, global, and all the french ones) they are all available on iptv.

I do the same. I use the TV native tuner to do OTA and have IPTV on an HDMI input. Too Simple.
