As part of its challenging bid to be yourgo - to streaming servicefor virtually everything , Plex this week annunciate the addition of a young , liberal TV feature film with more than 80 line usable at launch .
launch asLive telecasting , the feature in reality comprises a collection of pre - programmed , uninterrupted epithelial duct rather than the over - the - air watercourse of traditional live computer programming . But the welfare to this kind of quote - unquote live TV is that it does n’t command a wireless and transmitting aerial to access it , as is the guinea pig with Plex ’s existinglive television and DVR offerings(which may alsorequirea Plex Pass subscription ) .
But realistically , a lot of the capacity you traditionally get with cable television or be television streaming is pre - programme as well . Unless you ’re a minute of a news junkie or someone who absolutely must tune - in for live series airings , real - time programme may not be as much of a priority for you .

Keep in mind that the offering is free , which means there will be ads . The lineup at launch looks like it could employ a little work . The act of channels alone here looks middling scrappy compare to , for example , the more than 250 offered by Pluto’sfree TVservice .
But Live telecasting is n’t necessarily the total point here . yield the bit of customizations within Plex — it ’s already equal to of becoming a one - stop hub for all of your personal mass medium , plus loose on - demand movies and shows , podcasts , and music — the new hot TV feature nicely rounds out an already compelling entertainment parcel .
