SilconDust HDHomeRun Prime DVR/PVR ReadyNAS OS

Hello Community,

I've been scratching my head on finalizing this last piece of my Home Media Center, and figured this would be the best place to research:

NAS: RN51600
Cable Tuner(s): HDHomeRun Prime
Cable Card: Comcast CableCard, with Basic Cable and Premium Channels
Extenders: ChromeCast, Roku 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Visio Smart TV

There a many solutions for Windows, Linux and IOS for getting the HDHomeRun working on a DVR; Windows Media Center for one. However, I purchased the RN51600 so I could have a consolidated solution to extend to various devices, such as my Roku(s), XBOX 360/One(s), Visio Smart TV, Chromecast, etc. I see a little traction with Plex and DVBLink however neither seems full baked, and it's unclear to me it works on the ReadNAS OS.

Therefore I'm opening this Topic so see if we can put together a comprehensive step-by-step for hosting a DVR on the ReadyNAS and extending it to various devices - that is if such a thing exists. If anyone has a clue please chime in, and thanks in advance!
