Plex Live TV currently in beta and DVR is the most affordable and accessible way for users to watch their favorite HDTV digital broadcast channels including local news and live sports as well as 86 of the 100 most popular U.S. Los Gatos, Calif J- Plex the streaming media app that organizes your favorite media content and streams it to all of your devices today announced the addition of free Live TV for all Plex Pass subscribers. Mostly edge cases, but I like to see engineers thinking ahead. There are also systems in place to handle the event that multiple people want to watch live TV on separate tuners, but one of those devices is currently recording.
If all of your tuners are set to record, but you want to watch something live, Plex will give you a notification to ask you how you want to proceed. The core DVR engine is also getting overhauled to offer some really awesome conflict management and scheduling priorities. You can also filter content based on genre, channel, and so on (for active shows and movies) - or you can search by voice. When you've selected something, you can choose to start recording or to watch live. This will have what's on now, suggestions based on your previous recordings or library contents, and what's coming up later that Plex thinks you might be interested in. When you go into the Live TV section, you'll be greeted with a program guide. The engineers at Plex tested antennae from Mohu and HD Frequency, so that might be a good place to start if you're feeling a bit lost. *Verify TVButler compatibility with the vendor some NAS's have experienced issuesĪlso of note is that this will work with any digital antenna, so this leaves plenty of options open to you to decide which one is best for your situation. If you're wondering what tuners will be supported, check out the table below or this link.
For those of you for whom this applies, that's great. At launch, Live TV will also support multiple tuners in a single household for more recording and live viewing options. OTA standards (Jason Williams, Director of Product and Growth, assured me that reaching a global audience was a priority). The company has also worked to make sure that this new service supports more than just U.S. But now to sweeten things further, Plex has announced Live TV, which will be available to all Pass subscribers at no extra charge.The biggest thing to note before going forward is that Live TV still requires a broadcast tuner, but the good news is that Plex has majorly increased the number of supported manufacturers that you can use - that means that you're no longer limited to an HDHomeRun. Back in September, Plex DVR launched, giving you the ability to record and save any broadcasts that your HDHomeRun tuner and antenna had picked up.
