• Few of the channels on Plex Live TV are what you'd find with a cable subscription, but there is a wide variety of content, from sports to news to kids shows to anime to classic movies.

This live service joins the 14,000 free movies, documentaries, and TV shows already available through Plex on-demand, and covers a wide range of interests, from news to sports to cartoons and more.
