Plex has added more features to its app
Along with these new channels, Plex is adding features to help you find something to watch more quickly. Now, you can use Plex more like a social media app for TV instead of scrolling through endless menus.

While other streaming services keep raising their prices, it is nice to see an app offering more free content. All five of these new channels are already available.
To try them out, open the Plex app on your phone, tablet, computer, or smart TV, go to the “Live TV” section, and start watching.
