When I do a search on my Nvidia Shield I get results from everything but the TV Guide. Everything was working properly before the new guide. I tried reinstalling everything but the search stopped working on two devices and even the web interface. I do have all sources selected,

I think this is currently broken across the board for the Android app (it also does not work on Android mobile). Plex has acknowledged it and it should be fixed soon. If I can find on of those posts, I will update this one with the link.

Thanks for the reply, but it has been about 2 months and I still can not do any search for live ota tv even though I can see the guide on my shield. To keep my household happy I have to use Channels even though I purchased a year subscription for Plex. Are they still working on a fix or am I just out of luck?

They are still working on it. But, you can search in the web app. You just have to “search all sources”. Not ideal, but it’s a workaround for now.
