Hello, I just bought an antenna and activated the DVR function on my plex and everything works correctly as an admin user, but I can’t share the channels with my plex users, on the official plex guide it is explained that users need a plex pass just to record but to watch the channels it should work, the problem is i can’t share the DVr with my users, can anyone help me?
You can only share the Tuner with members of your Plex Home.
You cannot share the tuner with normal “Plex Friends”/“Shared Users”.
This is intentional.
Sharing of the tuner needs to be granted explicitly to each user.

does this mean they have to be in the same home network? did I get it right?
No, they need to be members of your Plex Home: https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/features/plex-home/
And, as the name implies, that status is intended for persons in your own household.
I tried now, I added a user to the home, now it asks him for the pin, but he does not see the dvr the same, I also removed the restrictions and tried to restart the plex server
maybe i have to reinsert the dvr?
Switch the left side bar of that user to the MORE mode.
Look for a media source named either “Live TV” or “Live TV & DVR” and pin it to the side bar.
thank you very much for your help now it works
Would you mind commenting on why this was an intentional decision?
