For Android devices, install the app via the Google Play store., or Amazon store if you’ve a FireTV device.

For LG TV, install from the LG app store.

I don’t use the LiveTV/DVR feature (I don’t own one of the [supported tuners](https://support.plex.tv/articles/225877427-supported-dvr-tuners-and-antennas/)).

Hopefully somebody else can chime in with help in that area of the product.

For problems watching live TV, try opening a new thread and use the `livetv-dvr` tag.

That will catch the eye of people using that feature.

Include your PMS version & platform and also which TV tuner you are using.

For problems with the LG app, use the `smart-tv` category with the `lg-webos` tag. Include PMS version & platform and also the version of the Plex app (Available via [Authorized Devices](https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/devices/all)).
