Hit the Plex website (opens in new tab) to sign up for both your free Plex account and your Plex Pass subscription to get going with live TV. The software is intelligent enough to recognize more than one device and for the end user, there will be nothing to indicate if they're switching between them. However, if you have more than one tuner device, say, a pair of HDHomeRun Connects, this will double your allowance. Plex live TV can watch two channels, record two channels or watch one and record another. If you can currently get Plex DVR you'll also get live TV, but the important thing to note is Plex supports the signal standards for all corners of the globe. No! Plex appreciates its global audience and this is very much an international rollout. Plex Live TV and DVR works with any antenna and supports a wide range, and growing number, of digital tuners, including: ATSC (North America), WinTV-dualHD, WinTV-HVR-955Q, WinTV-quadHD, Digital TV for Xbox One, AVerMedia AVerTV Volar Hybrid Q, SiliconDust HDHR (all models), DVB-C/T/T2 TVButler 100TC, WinTV-soloHD, and Freeview HD TV for Xbox One. Initially, Plex live TV support will be limited to the SiliconDust HDHomeRun (opens in new tab) products, but more will be rolled out over the coming months. You'll require a regular digital TV antenna and a tuner that can interpret the signal and then relay it to Plex. How to record live TV shows with Plex DVR Do I need any special hardware? If not there's a fairly easy setup process.

If you currently use Plex DVR, then you're good to go. DVR is also leaving beta as of the time the Apple TV app gets updated. This also means you're now able to schedule and watch back live recordings all from your Apple TV without having to go to your Mac or PC.

To make sure you get in on the action make sure you're running the latest version of the Plex app for Apple TV. That's right! It took a little longer than we anticipated but Plex Live TV is available to Apple TV owners as of August 2, 2017.
