Need guidance on setting up IPTV OTA streams/links

Hello, I have an OTA digital antenna and I would like to hook this up to my computer so I can link to it over the internet VIA an http/m3u8 link and have many of the channels available to watch, not just one. Can I use your program do do this? What do I need to connect the antenna with to my computer? (Please recommend a cheap TV Tuner I can get off eBay)
Do I need to get your Network version of the software to do what I want? (Stream many channels at once that I am getting OTA)
Thank you for any help

1. You can buy DVB device in near shop and test it.
2. For streaming you need free version of ProgDVB + Prog Media Server. Or other server if you need HLS or transcoding.

Hello, thx for responding, so I need to get a PC DVB TV tuner that plugs into the computer VIA USB rather than the VGA connection so that your software sees it, right?
Once I get ProgDVB to see my tuner, is there a guide on what settings to enable to connect each channel to an http/HLS link to be able to access them from outside and also inside my network? I will like to stream 3-4 channels at the same time.
Thx again for your guidance

What is 'one mux'?
What does your server stream then if not live OTA channels? only mp4 or local media files?
The channels will be OTA channels, I won't be able to stream these? What program would you recommend then to stream OTA channels?
Can I create my m3u8 link from your ProgDVB program then stream it through VLC or somthing? Thx
