Live TV streaming problem on Apple TV

Wondering if anyone else has had a new problem with streaming live TV in the past few weeks. I have my Plex media server running on a PC using a Silicon Dust tuner and Apple TV. When I try to watch live TV, Plex can’t stream to my Apple TV anymore but I can still tune on my PC that runs the media server. I’ve been using this system for many months and it has been pretty solid, apart from lagging when changing live tv stations. I occasionally get a “weak signal” error on the Apple TV, but I checked the Homerun tuner and I have a great signal (100%). I’ve rebooted the network and all the pieces to the system many times and nothing seems to be working. Any ideas? Is there a post I missed about this that someone can refer me to?

Thanks,
Doug

Same problem with my set-up.
Serval people reported the same issue in this thread: Plex Useless; Apple TV 8.6 & 8.7 Player FUBAR—Can't Play TV; iOS Player 8.5 Can't Play Shows Being Recorded - #43 by pl4151

By accident I found the thread Live TV does not work with Apple-TV - #4 by Stevenson-Price
The work around changing both settings Auto Adjust Quality and Use Old Video Player to “Off” solved my problem.
