In my sidebar under “Online content” there is no “Channel” option. All I see are “Watch Later” and “Recommended”. As a result I can’t get to any channels. Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help, I am new here …

1. What OS are you running on?
2. Are you referring to the Plex Server Interface or one of the many client apps?

Like from the server interface:

I have the same problem. I am using Windows 10.

I want to delete some of the unwatched channels on my DVR download. It would be much easier if I could simply delete them from the Guide page.

I added a couple of Plug In channels (Tested, Nat. Geographic), and they don’t show up either.

To delete a channel from the DVR feature, you need to edit the DVR settings.

These are not the same thing. You remove these from Plug-ins under the Online Content heading.

The only options that I have under “DVR Settings” are the number of minutes extra before and after recordings, the option to download the Enhanced Guide (fat chance – it already takes almost an hour to download the basic guide), Remove Commercials, and Download the Guide more frequently.

I don’t want to delete my plugins – I want to be able to see them! Those channels aren’t visible either.
