It was announced today we have access to 80 live tv channels. We’ve updated to Server 1.20.0.3125 and Desktop client 1.14.0.1340. We still still only list Live TV and DVR from our local tuners
The desktop app doesn’t appear to be on the list yet.

plex for windows is at 1.15.1 and the live tv is there, try it and report how well it works or if you have any problems.
also Plex Web should always have latest features available that may take longer to roll out to other clients.
Ok… I do see it on the web player. But not on the Mac Desktop yet. Its also not shown up on IOS even though it is listed
you might need to clear the ios app and restart it, or it might still be rolling out (although I would have expected it to be available by now).
check your phone app store to make sure there is no plex update pending

Its in iOS. I had to update the app though.
Well I see it, but clicking on it gives “There was an error loading channels”
A bit anti-climactic.
I seem to have Live TV on IOS, not on my desktop OSX nor on my Android TV boxes. Do I just need to wait a bit for the rollout or is there something I can do to accelerate this. All versions are updated (except Android) not sure how to force an update on an Android TV box
on android tv, plex should update via google play store.
you should not need to update the android system itself.
you may need to ‘force close’ or just reboot your device for it to refresh and pick up the new content.
on plex for mac/windows, I think you need 1.15.1 or newer.
The good news is it looks like all our apps got the new update, so it is showing up.
The bad news it doesn’t work very well. It plays the shows for only a few minutes, then starts buffering and then stops working all together. We have a gigabit internet, so we know its not that. and we’ve also tried it on LTE connected devices and it’s the same.
Hopefully future updates will correct this as it now, its not really usable.
Yeah. First day kinks probably.
Some I’ve played hours, others buffer/error out after anywhere from few minutes to 30+
