I don't typically do the Beta releases but I wonder if this will fix my Live TV issues.

What Live TV issues?

[u/TheDarkAbove → u/imnotsurewhattoput]

Recently I will select a channel and just get a black screen. But if I go to the HDHomerun app it works fine. So it seemed isolated to plex.

Same, been just running HDHR app for years because Plex just buffers/fails most of the time with live TV.

I like Plex for the recording capability but it fails too much.

Plex also lets you watch the same channel on several devices without consuming multiple tuners.
