I personally don’t want to use this because I’d be scared my DVR would run out of available tuners, but it certainly should be an option.
So, in a case where there’s a choice to be made, there should be a setting created. Some users would want to favor DVR and other Live TV. In this case, you have a finite number of tuner resources, so logic dictates making a setting that allows the admin to select what to do when the resource is exhausted. If you wanted to be able to “reserve” a certain number of resources in the case where there’s limited available, that would be a nice option as well “Always reserve X tuners for Live TV”.

it is a planned feature, though we can’t provide a specific ETA it should be out sometime in Q4. Sorry I can’t be more precise with that.
So, looks like it should be here by the end of the year, most likely. Being in the tech industry, I am setting my expectations to have something by the beginning of February with bug fixes to follow.

Ahhh… so you understand the slippery slope of providing specific release dates for software! Our aim is to deliver it by the end of the year, and I believe we’re still on track for that.
So this forum has answered my question, I can not stream TV content to other users on my Plex Server.
Would love to see this feature implemented sooner than later.
So I checked on my server yesterday, and you can indeed allow friends to view live tv. I did this for a friend of mine, he was able to then see the program guide and watch live tv at this house.
I’ve tried the HDVeiwer 2 Plugin however I’ve found it to be very laggy/buggy where as the built in plex transcoder works well which is why I opted not to do the plugin for my son. It got to the point of bad DSL video streaming so to speak, pixelated and just terrible quality.
For some reason, after having enabled Live TV under a specific home user account, the option to watch is still not showing up on the Plex app for Apple TV. Is this by design?

Feel free to close this thread. Looks like Plex added the ability to share Live TV to other users within your account. Thanks Plex team!
Looks like as of the last update they have removed this ability. Now when you check the website it says you can only share with people in the Plex home. It was nice while it lasted
Yeah I’m kinda ticked about this. I just bought additional hardware and set it up based on the fact that this was available. It was working great… then, POOF! … it’s gone.
