The company had already allowed consumers to capture and record live TV by way of a digital antenna and tuner connected to a Plex media server, but this required investment in additional hardware and involved a more complicated setup process. Having a powerful computer and a strong internet connection will also help ensure that your live stream looks just as good as what you get from hooking an HD antenna directly into your TV.Streaming media platform Plex announced today it’s further expanding into live TV with the addition of over 80 free live TV channels accessible by free users and subscribers alike. Just remember that your computer is acting as a media server, so if you shut it off, you won't be able to watch or record anything, even though your antenna and DVR tuner are still hooked up. That's it! You can now watch and record live broadcast TV to your heart's content. (Older smart TVs won't, for obvious reasons neither will PS4, for reasons that are less obvious to us.) Just be aware that while most Plex platforms support Live TV, not every single one does. Download Plex for your platform of choice, log in and then navigate to Live TV, just as you'd normally navigate to your Movies or Music folder. If your preferred Plex platform is a streaming player, game console, smart TV or mobile device, you'll have to go through one additional step. Setup is now done, and you can enjoy live TV on your computer or Shield TV. Again, the program will do this in the background if you don't do it now, so you can't screw this up either way. You can start watching programs right away, but if you wait a little while (somewhere between 5 and 30 minutes, in our experience), you'll know exactly what programs are playing as soon as you start using Plex.
