I understand that DVR requires a plex pass. However, your FAQ specifically says watching TV is free and doesn’t require a plex pass. Just the DVR portion. But I have found no way to successfully add and use my TV tuner in plex! All online guides state to go into setting - Live TV and DVR to add …

Not sure I would bother, without the PP the guide is limited to 4 hours. Just going to through this out there that it can be a little fussy if you are not using an HDHomerun tuner and a something with a reasonable processor. https://support.plex.tv/articles/225877347-live-tv-dvr/

Thank you for linking to the same guide that I’ve specifically explained is incorrect. This guide says I should get a “set up plex dvr” button All I get is a “get a plex pass” button. Despite viewing TV without DVR functions is supposedly doable without a plex pass. I ask again, please advise.

@armyofquad1 You are correct here. OTA live TV does not require a Plex Pass to set up. Only recording using the DVR requires Plex Pass. [image]

[image] armyofquad1: All I get is a “get a plex pass” button. Can you please take screenshot of this. You should see like the screenshot @SwiftPanda16 added. THis is a tuner with guide for a non=pp users [Plex]

Here is the screenshot of what I am seeing, which seems to contradict what you are expecting and all the guides. [image]

Can you try a different browser than Brave. It should not matter but Brave blocks so much by default something wacky might be happening.
