IPTV Support as a tuner on Plex Server

Feature Suggestions
1

I would like to ask for support for IPTV to be used as a tuner.

I was using a MAGBOX, but I only want to see English channels and channels in my native language - not easily done w/ MAGBOX.
I then switched to a Windows APP, same issue as MAGBOX. Shows all channels.
I am now using NextPVR on a Windows system, as I am able to hide global channels that I do not want and also has the option to setup recording/recurring recording, etc.

This sounds familiar as Plex already does what NextPVR does, except Plex has no true IPTV support that I can find. I would like to see Plex offer IPTV as a tuner on their Plex Pass plan to compliment their hardware based “premium personal media experience”.

nb: This would be a “pay for service” feature as part of the Plex Pass [live tv+dvr] to help offset the cost of developing a proper feature.
p.s. - make it for the Synology NAS first, then maybe Windows, etc…

Thank you,

Search for “xTeVe”/“threadFin” or “TVheadend”, depending on your operating system.

In addition to Otto’s feedback on how you could already do this… there’s also already an existing suggestion discussing an option to add m3u/IPTV as tuner to the Plex DVR system. Please comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.
Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.
