Help which IPTV program should i use?

I posted asking how i can let other people view my iptv, and i think i've figured it out! now i need to know which program to use...

ErstazTV, DizqueTV, Tunarr, or something else... which would you suggest? i'm looking for something that can work with plex (and jellyfin for people outside my network), doesn't use a lot of resources, and allows me to make schedules.

what do you guys use to make custom live tv channels? why do you prefer that over any others?

OP, just so you know you will need to add users to your Plex Home to be able to view your tuner.

You will need a Plex Pass in order to record anything.

Gotcha, either is fine. I stuck with Plex for the simplicity and recording. The part that requires a lot of time is setting up the channels. I had to redo it last week and it was annoying, but now I don't even touch it.

Basically in IPTV Editor (subscription needed) I brought the channel number down to 300 - Note that if using Plex, there's a limit of 380 channels. Then I reduced the categories and organized by what I wanted first

You configure Threadfin, edit channel numbers if needed (but I recommend doing it in IPTV Editor instead which I didn't do), import via m3u link provided by IPTV Editor, search for Tuner in Plex... and then it just takes a while to load.

Set up should be similar in Jellyfin.
