When you think of Plex, you generally think of a locally based media server, with some sort of hard drive or network attached storage that lets you serve up all your favorite films locally, instead of having to rely on a stream that you don't really control. Or, OK, maybe you rely on someone else's Plex library to stream video to your home, locally. Or maybe you use Plex to record over-the-air TV via an antenna and serve it back to any of your devices anywhere in the world.
Today, Plex has entered a new category of home entertainment with the addition of more than 80 channels of live television. Eighty-five, to be exact, with 65 coming with traditional video, and another 20 music channels.
As you'd expect, the whole thing is based around advertising. The live TV is available in 220 countries (with 80 percent of the channels available in all of the regions) and works on Amazon Fire TV, Android and iOS devices, Apple TV, Android TV, the Plex web app, and on Roku.
And note that you don't have to have a subscription to Plex Pass to take advantage of the new free video — it's available to anyone with a Plex account.
