I have a plex lifetime subscription and a TV tuner in the attic with an antenna that can see local TV stations. My server in the basement runs Plex and can connect to the tuner over ethernet.

I told plex to record all Olympic events and to mark the commercials. The result is still a mess, but I have everything NBC broadcasts and a "skip commercials" button pops up for all of the true commercials. I still get all the annoying talking heads and other commercial endorsements that are not commercials, but I can scan forward until the thumbnails match what I want to see. The Olympics every 4 years is one of the main reasons I justify plex.




Depending on where you are, you are at best getting highlights.

I like watching the sports they don't like showing. Nothing worse than NBC claiming they will be showing one sport only to find that it was 30 minutes of talking heads and some gymnast/swimmers life story.
