But it doesn’t integrate with subscriptions like Netflix, Amazon Prime, or any live TV streaming service such as DirecTV Now. I imagined a place where I could sort through all my owned media and subscriptions in one place. When I first understood the concept of Plex, I was excited.
The TV comes from the antenna, the tuner makes the antennas signals readable for the Plex server so that the server can act as a DVR. Once it is set up you’ll have live TV and DVR free for life.
For a more in-depth look on how to set it up, check out this explanation.
Once you get all 3 items, it is easy! You just set up your antenna, install the digital tuner, and then set up the Plex Live TV on your server. In order to do this, you first need an HD antenna, a compatible digital tuner, along with a subscription to Plex (I suggest try it out for a month, then if you like it, get the lifetime pass). That‘s right, never pay for TV again and save over $1200 a year! I want to share how Plex along with 2 other devices can get you free TV and DVR for life. Don’t worry, I am not straying off the path, I am still just trying to help you on your cable cutting path. What Does This Have To Do With Cable Cutting?Īs you know, this website is for helping people find better and cheaper alternatives to Cable TV, and not for helping people organize media. Once Digitized, you don’t need to worry about scratches, or any wear and tear. You will never have to search for a lost DVD or photo again. How would you like to have all your own media neatly organized and easily accessible in one place? Sounds great huh? With Plex, this is entirely possible, and once you put in the initial work in, it is there forever. Pretty much, Plex is Dan’s personal cloud-based media library, where he put/s all the media he owns, and then can access it anywhere on any device that is connected to the internet. While at the park, he pulled out his phone to show me and started playing Home Alone, one of his old DVDs. To do this, he ripped all of his DVDs, collected all his music and photos, and put them on Plex. It took him a while, and some work, but now he can access all the media he has ever bought, on any of his devices at any time. He told me that he “has a sweet setup” because of Plex. I went over, and he opened Plex and pulled up the Superbowl, and we proceeded to watch the Chiefs make history in great HD quality. On Super Bowl, Sunday my friend, Bob, invited me over to his house to watch the Super Bowl.
