Plex has announced the expansion of its Plex DVR feature with support for streaming live TV programming using a supported tuner. Plex DVR, debuted last fall as a premium feature, allowed Plex Pass users to schedule recordings directly into Plex Media Server using an external tuner. Today’s announcement takes this a step further by allowing users to tune into available live TV programming directly through the Plex Media Server into the Plex iOS app, with support for the tvOS version apparently to come. Previously, while users could record programs using the Plex DVR, a program couldn’t be viewed until the recording was finished. The update also adds in-app DVR management to allow users to browse the program guide and manage recordings directly from the Plex iOS app, and the company has also expanded its supported tuners beyond the HDHomeRun, adding several more to the list, including models from Hauppauge, AVerMedia, and DVBLogic.
