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/

@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]

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