Enabling Live TV channels even if if can't be found and a guide added/Custom name for channels

I don’t know if this the place to put this but I have a feature request. I was setting up liveTV on my server and for the most part it has gone great. But there a few channels that it couldn’t automatically figure out and that I couldn’t figure or couldn’t find on the drop down list of channels to manually assign it.

What I think we should be able to do is to be allowed to enable TV channels that it can’t get info for anyway that way they can still be watched. I can imagine that I’m not the only one that has an issue like this. Also I think we should be able to put custom names on TV channels and have them show up in our guides with those names. Again using my setup as an example I few a channels that have been re-named from what they are to some random local name ( WKXY for example ). It would be nice if in these situations we could rename them to the proper name and have it show in Plex that way.

I just set-up Live TV on Plex and was having this same issue. Yes, this would be a welcome fix, especially considering this is a Plex Pass feature.

Also, you need to re-post this under “Feature Suggestions” in order for forum members to vote on it as a new feature.
