In the US, Plex are offering 80+ channels, with more coming soon – and many of them are in HD. You can find out more about Plex Live TV here. On my Android phone, I had to log out of Plex and then log back in for the Live TV tab to appear – so you can try that out.Īlso, note that while Plex offers a premium “Plex Pass” tier – it is not needed for the Live TV channels feature. With the new feature still rolling out, you might not see it on your device just yet. Plex itself is available on almost every smart device in existence, from phones to streaming devices and even some Freeview boxes – but the Live TV part isn’t available on all of these devices yet.įor now, Plex Live TV is available on these devices: “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.” Where Can I Watch Plex Live TV? “Two of the most important factors for an enjoyable streaming experience”, said Keith Valory, CEO of Plex, “are easily being able to find something of interest to watch, and being able to watch it from any device you choose. With the channels being live, you can’t pause, fast forward or record anything – these are truly old-school live channels, so you can only watch what’s on RIGHT NOW. The live channels appear as a grid (similar to the Freeview EPG), where you can see all the programmes that are “airing” at the moment, as well as upcoming ones.
As with the on-demand content, the live TV channels are all free, but ad-supported, with advert-breaks during the shows. This week, Plex announced the launch of their new live TV offer. While free is always nice, Plex’ on-demand service in the UK consists mostly of old programmes and movies you’ve never heard of – though there are a few gems here and there. Last year, Plex entered the content game, when it launched a free on-demand streaming service that features TV programmes, movies and documentaries. Plex is a popular media management and streaming platform ( see our full Plex review), that lets you organise your locally-stored media files, and stream them to a multitude of other devices.
The channels, which include IGN TV, Nosey, Cooking Panda, music video channels and many more (the complete list of channels is down below), are already available on most versions of the Plex app. Plex, which started its life as a media streaming solution, is growing once again – this time by adding a free live TV service, which is available in the UK and worldwide.
