Can Plex consider adding Freeview [1] to Plex. It would enable a TV guide integrated with catch-up TV.

Thanks

I think it is a bad idea and, probably, not possible. Plex is already too bloated and I see little reason to bloat it even more.

Plex has previously said that “TV anywhere” is not possible or practical and I believe this would face most of the same problems and probably even more.

In what way is Plex already too bloated?

Hopefully Plex will change their mind about TV Everywhere with the recent cable card decision. I prefer Plex but my cord cutting has switched me to PhiloTv and using ChannelsDVR for DVR services. I’d love to switch back to Plex for LiveTv&DVR but in 3 months of ChannelsDVR I’ve had zero issues with tuner malfunctions, guide issues, no issues with multiple EPGs, it just costs another $80 a year…
