In May, Plex announced they added Crackle and its library of movies and TV shows. “Plex offers consumers across the globe a simple yet powerful platform for access to all types of content that can be streamed from all types of devices.” “Two of the most important factors for an enjoyable streaming experience are easily being able to find something of interest to watch, and being able to watch it from any device you choose,” said Keith Valory, CEO of Plex. One nice feature on Plex is that you will be able to re-order and hide certain channels that you don’t want to appear in your channel guide. Live TV on Plex also offers comedy, game shows, anime and 19 music channels. The addition of Live TV on Plex offers consumers a variety of options, ranging from live news like Reuters and Yahoo Finance, to kids shows like “Toon Goggles,” to all things sports including live games, original programming and movies/docs from fubo Sports Network, to gaming and esports on IGN1, and two new LGBTQ+ channels from Revry. Comcast has also entered the ad-supported linear TV space, through their acquisition of Xumo and through the launch of linear channels in Peacock. Plex will also now be going head-to-head with Pluto TV, which was acquired by ViacomCBS last year, and already has 24 million active users. 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.The announcement comes just weeks after Roku added a new Live TV Guide to The Roku Channel.
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.
