NAS recommendations?

I have used a bunch of Synology's boxes for clients. Have a friend who uses QNAPs.

I have had so many successful installs with Synology, that I can't make myself try QNAP.

If I use plex pass with the Live DVR feature and an HDHomerun Quatro, can it save to a NAS or my laptop's HD? I guess it has to since the HDHomerun Quatro only has a power plug, ethernet input and a coax input.

Curious as to how it saves to a NAS? Is it in the settings?

The HDHomerun picks up the OTA signals and kind of rebroadcasts them over your network. In order to record, you need more equipment and software, like Plex.

Generally, setting up Plex involves pointing it at the locations where you store your media. These locations can be the server's own hard drive, a NAS, etc. For example, you might set your Plex 'TV Shows' library to point at a particular folder on your NAS.

When setting up Plex DVR, it should auto-detect your HDHomerun, and any recordings you set should just save to your 'TV Shows' library.

Thanks for the replies. This thread pretty much matched other NAS threads, i.e., not too much info out there. One video I watched basically said that qnap was a bit more customizable, but I don’t necessarily need that. I guess I’ll compare hardware specs and go with whatever’s the better deal.
