Server Version#: 1.43.3.10896 Player Version#: 4.160.0 Tuner Make/Model: Tunarr Using XMLTV?: yes Hi there; I accidently disabled live TV in online media sources (I think I said disabled for managed accounts oR I said enabled) and its now gone from the side car. If I go to browser history its still there and works ([http://192.168.0.130:32400/web/index.html#!/live-tv/](http://192.168.0.130:32400/web/index.html#!/live-tv/)) Also still shows in the plex android app and works there too. I have removed docker image, restored to an old zfs backup and the option is still gone (4 months back) I have cleared cache and tried on different pc too Only me in home group, cannot edit my self ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/f/e/d/fed37b7d482afdbc6efee45d04ab57c29a8eb2f6.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/9/b/e/9be4cce1715be9c91ed4384e460df5bcbca079c6.jpeg) If I reset sidecar PLEX WEB/GENERAL is still doesn’t know live tv exists ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/a/f/f/affad761e385e0c889e5689a4a4a0102c8ddf287.png) ---

If the Plex Live TV service is not showing up in the Online Media Sources, then it’s likely that your in a region where that content is restricted. As for your tuner/DVR, can you please show the server setting page for Live TV & DVR? One picture shows your guide but then the sources list doesn’t show it. It’s a bit confusing. The Plex Live TV service should have no bearing on being able to use or access your tuner/DVR. ---

Thanks, if I go to URL [http://192.168.0.130:32400/web/index.html#!/live-tv/](http://192.168.0.130:32400/web/index.html#!/live-tv/) I can get to my guide, the only way I got that is from my browser history (so its still there and working technically). On a side information note yesterday I set movies & Shows to enabled and now that setting is gone too (cannot toggle it) Also more info, If I got to [http://192.168.0.130:32400/web](http://192.168.0.130:32400/web) in incognito it asked to Customize your Media and the Live tv/dvr option is there I can browser server, not logged in as myself (says sign in at top right) in settings I just cannot see dylanan1 items, it, once I log in same story Here’s a pic of the tuner setup ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/b/e/9/be9d78122b28768916a0eb326763bfa82e579a5a.jpeg) ---
