I was up and running in 10 min and everything initially worked fine. Three days ago I side-loaded the DVR server back to the Shield and updated to the latest pre-release (I update it daily). I prefer to run Channels DVR server on the Shield because manual commercial skipping is so much more responsive when server and client are on the same Shield it lags badly when the DVR server is running remotely and the Shield is a network client (wired Ethernet).Īnyway, I ran the DVR server on the PC while the developers thrashed out the side-loading process and made that effortless as well. I immediately moved the DVR server to my Media-PC (kudos to the developers for making the migration process practically effortless) where it runs very reliably. When the Shield v9 update first crashed the Channels DVR server I came to this forum and read the bad news. Having a powerful computer and a strong internet connection will also help ensure that your live stream looks just as good as what you get from hooking an HD antenna directly into your TV.Been using Channels for nearly a year running on a Shield Pro. Just remember that your computer is acting as a media server, so if you shut it off, you won't be able to watch or record anything, even though your antenna and DVR tuner are still hooked up. That's it! You can now watch and record live broadcast TV to your heart's content. (Older smart TVs won't, for obvious reasons neither will PS4, for reasons that are less obvious to us.) Just be aware that while most Plex platforms support Live TV, not every single one does. Download Plex for your platform of choice, log in and then navigate to Live TV, just as you'd normally navigate to your Movies or Music folder. If your preferred Plex platform is a streaming player, game console, smart TV or mobile device, you'll have to go through one additional step.
Setup is now done, and you can enjoy live TV on your computer or Shield TV. Again, the program will do this in the background if you don't do it now, so you can't screw this up either way.
You can start watching programs right away, but if you wait a little while (somewhere between 5 and 30 minutes, in our experience), you'll know exactly what programs are playing as soon as you start using Plex.
