That’s right, today we’re rolling out support for Live TV! And we’re doing it in a truly Plexy way. As with all live video streaming services, the channels available vary depending on your zip code. International programming includes CBC, BBC, ITV, Telemundo, and Univision. Once set up, subscribers will be able to watch live HD content on channels available over-the-air, from major US networks including ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and CW, as well as local programming, news, and sports. To use Plex Live TV, users will have to install a digital antenna, connect a digital tuner, and sync everything to their Plex Pass subscription account.

The company said that live TV is supported only under the Plex Pass subscription tier, which starts at $4.99/month. If you don't want to pay $5/month, why not go for $40/year, or $150/lifetime? If your budget is $0, that's fine, but considering the cost of the rest of the setup (antenna, tuners, HTPC, etc), if someone can make the rest of my setup really shine with fantastic software, I think it's totally worth $40/year or $150.Plex will today begin integrating a live television feature into its popular video streaming and personal media application for iOS and Android TV, allowing Plex subscribers to stream live TV on their smartphones wherever they are located. Your HDHR3 tuners from 2010 won't work.įrankly, I'm more excited about this DVR system than I've been for any DVR software I've seen for years!

Only recent HDHomeRun tuners are supported. The real time transcoding feature (for HDHomeRun Connect tuners) is indeed very experimental. They don't support live TV or watching in-progress recordings (not a huge problem for me, but I hope that feature is coming).Ģ. The guide and show metadata is really solid.ġ. It's functional, easy to use, and nice to look at.Ģ. And better than most other HTPC user interfaces that I've seen. Their UI is significantly better than the HDHomeRun DVR UI in most cases. So, I've had more time to mess with it.ġ.
