First…I would like to say THANK YOU!!! for adding Live TV Support in the browser and android.
I would love to see live tv support added to plex apps on Roku and Xbox One. I am SOOOOOO very much looking forward to Roku and Xbox One Apps that support live TV, so I can finally upgrade my PC to Win 10, and no longer have to stay on Windows 8.1, the last version that support Windows Media Center and I can just use Plex in our home.
Please expedite Live TV for Roku - CableCard user with HDHomerun and would love to be able to actually Ditch some Cable Set Top Box rentals as i have a Roku on every TV…this would be a HUGE step toward cable cutting, at least to begin!
I know the roku support posts are older, so they may not be valid anymore, but I was under the impression that live tv was supported on the Roku. Is that not the case? Reading this post: support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/115007689648-Watching-Live-TV I ask because I’m looking at buying a roku to replace my HTPC.
I wouldn’t call the browser or Android as a working solution as it insists on transcoding everything to network clients which means it is even more delayed and problematic on non-beefy htpc. Really don’t understand why it doesn’t work on the Windows client app as that should have the capability to stream w/o any re-encoding issues. The native HDHomerun app works with almost no cpu usage and (obviously no transcoding) to Windows and to Android. The experience here is a huge step backwards when it should be on-par or better overall.
