You can also go into the Channels section, find the show you want, and hit the Record button on the screen. Or, view the upcoming shows that are scheduled to be recorded. From the main menu, head to Live TV & DVR > Recording Schedule and there you will find all of the shows that have been recorded and watch them. For example, in the shot below I am using Plex on Apple TV – but it works similarly on other devices. Now, it’s also worth noting that you can record and view shows from virtually any device which supports the Plex app. Just click the Record button while viewing or go to the Discover section of the guide and click the Record button on a show’s thumbnail. You can also start recording a show while watching it. To make things easy, I created a single new folder for all OTA recordings, but you can manage your content in whatever way that works best for you. If you don’t have one yet, you’ll be prompted to create one the first time you record something new. Keep in mind that you will need to set up a library on the server first. So, if you need to record the big game, you’ll be able to find and schedule it to record. You will have the schedule for up to 14 days worth of content. From the guide, find the show you want and click the Record or Play button in the show’s field. Now that your Plex server is set to receive the live TV signal from your HDHomeRun, you can start to view and record live TV shows. Give it a moment while it pulls up the TV guide for your local GEO. The UI allows you to also customize your guide by unchecking any channels you’re not interested. Your zip code is needed so Plex can download your electronic TV guide for your local area. Select your language and enter your zip code to continue. You should see the number of channels that it found, but you can always have it scan again to make sure it has them all. Next, make sure the signal source and your country are selected.
If Plex doesn’t see it, click the link at the top that will walk you through the steps to enter it in manually. One the next screen, you should see your HDHomeRun, make sure it’s selected and hit Continue. That article is a bit out of date and uses a Roku as an example, but the process is virtually the same. Once you set up your Plex server, head to Settings > Live TV & DVR and click the “Set up Plex DVR” button to get things started. We have a complete guide on setting up a Plex server.
And for hardware, you will need an HDHomeRun and an indoor or outdoor HD antenna. Note: For everything to work you will need to set up Plex server on a computer or NAS and have a Plex Pass subscription.
