About this tag
Plex Live TV discussions on WindowsForum.com center on how Plex handles tuner-based and simulated live television, especially in self-hosted setups. One recurring theme is Tunarr, a separate media-streaming service that impersonates an HDHomeRun tuner to build linear channels from a personal library, complete with fixed start times, guide data, filler clips, and simulated commercial breaks.

The tag suits readers exploring Plex Live TV alternatives, tuner emulation, and DIY channel scheduling.
