The brief

Make a Channels DVR server easy to keep an eye on. Send an alert when live TV starts, when a recording is scheduled, starts, finishes or is cancelled, and before the disk fills up. Ship it free and open source from one Docker Compose file, with its own product site and docs.

What our founder built

  • A live dashboard

    Active streams, upcoming recordings, disk status and DVR health in one view.

  • Four alert types

    Live TV, on-demand playback, recordings and disk space.

  • Eight notification providers

    Pushover, Discord, Telegram, Slack, email and more.

  • Multi-DVR monitoring

    Several DVRs from one install, each routed its own way.

  • A product site

    Features, an install guide, release notes and a screenshot gallery.

  • A docs handbook

    Searchable guides, from install to diagnostics.
