I also Have no option to watch Live TV

Not sure if I should post this to thread with similar title, so here is new one with same problem. I have Android LG V20 with Plex app installed. From a web browser I see the Program Guide, but it does not show at all on Android app. I do not see any of these options on Android app.

I am running server Version 1.7.3.3937.

Currently it is only available in IOS and Android “TV”

So ‘Android TV’ is a different device?

yes it is a different OS , Android TV would be the android equivalent of TVOS on apple tv , Android like your phone would be the equivalent of IOS like an ipad or iphone. Android is said to be coming but was not a part of the initial launch announcement. Your phone is Android, not Android tv. Android tv is what is run on the NVIDIA shield and a few other set top TV Boxes.

Did a quick search. Android TV isn’t even a mobile device. If you have Android TV, that means you’re at home and can watch the actual TV. So why?

why would a DVR and Live TV be available on a TV? Is that your question.

If you want to watch live tv setup an emby server…it just flat out works and works well.
Even works on a cell network and works well.

I have been running an emby server for live tv for months and a plex server for dvr… and if the dvr issues do not get resolved in plex I will go try the emby dvr server again ( it failed miserably a year plus ago )

The hype for Plex TV is that you can watch it anywhere. If you have ‘Android TV’, you are at home (its not a mobile device). So why support? Or more closely, why support it before an Android mobile device?

@thecajun perhaps because users would like to watch Live TV without running a cable from an antenna to all of their TV’s. From what I understand there are more users using iOS and Android TV with Plex than other platforms so they added support for those two platforms first. Others will be coming.

It has to come in stages. They picked one route. Many like that route. Many don’t. You can’t make everyone happy!

@haeffnkr, thank you. Works great!

@johnm_ColaSC & @JeffCrum, I see your point.
