According to the Synology website you can connect a compatible USB TV DVB-T tuner and record directly onto the NAS. (I'm looking at purchasing the DS213).  In effect using your NAS as a PVR.

Has anyone tried to use a compatible USB TV tuner (DVB-T) with a Synology NAS and the Video Station package?

What kind of issues did you have?

Or easier to use a separate PVR receiver?

EPG Collector runs on Windows .Net platform, there will be no package in the world to get that running on a Synology NAS. You might be able to create a .xml file that the video software imports on a scheduled basis, but it will still need to run on a PC, which means at least one other USB receiver in that PC for the EPG.

I tried the HDHomeRun DSM package but it doesn't work in NZ. The HDHomerun works just fine on Windows and Mac here in New Zealand. Just not on the Synology NAS
