Plex is out with a nice update for its platform that sees free Live TV arrive for users around the world. The new ad-supported feature will include content from more than 80 channels and is available now on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Android, Roku, the web, and doesn’t require a tuner or digital antenna.
Plex users have enjoyed using the service to ditch cable for years by picking up a compatible tuner and antenna to watch over-the-air TV and recording it with NAS setups.

We’re not talking access to major networks for free but the list does include Reuters, Yahoo, Tastemade, IGN, Fubo Sports, Kidoodle TV, Toon Goggles, and many more.
The new Live TV on Plex is live now for all users. Learn more about the new offering on Plex’s site here.
