@kinoCharlino @sa2000 Pinging you about if there’s been any updates on this issue? Currently I am not able to watch most of my TV channels via Plex Live TV including Finnish National TV.
I managed to borrow Windows based laptop. I set up plexmediaserver on windows laptop and installed Hauppauge dualHD drivers. Set up Live DVR as well.
Then from windows laptop web client, I tried to play national TV channel YLE1 channel and it worked. Then I tried to play YLE1 from Plex Android TV app on NVIDIA SHIELD TV and it did not work.
Attached server logs and Android TV log. Quickly browsed thru nvidia shield tv plex app client log and I can see this:

Both server and all clients are running the latest Plex as of today.
In the log files you should be able to see successful live tv stream on plex web and failing live tv stream on android tv (nvidia shield tv).
UPDATE: I tried windows-laptop as client (Firefox and Plex Media Player) and I was able to play YLE1 on it, simultaneously with two Linux PCs Live watching YLE1 as well with Firefox. However, if I try to play YLE1 Live with any device with android, it won’t work. I don’t have logs from all of my devices (Nexus 5, Nexus 5X, Nexus 9, Oneplus 5T and SHIELD TV (android TV)), but for me it seems this is issue in android plex app. I’m happy to provide more logs from any of the devices to get this issue resolved.
UPDATE2: I received the latest Plex Android App 6.11.0:
