Home User Invite Via email

From the Plex Home area of settings I can add users to my home by specifying there email address attached to there own Plex account.

During this process it allows me to give them access to live tv.

The user accepts the invite.

They become a friend in plex and show up as awaiting response under the home tab.

My tv tuner isn’t accessible to them.

To me this is very confusing.

Why are you able to ad users to your home via email if that isn’t it’s intended use?

I’m a bit confused by your message… did you invite these users to join your Plex Home or did you invite them as friends?
Live TV sharing is only available to users inside your home.
