Yeah, I think the DVR may be one of Plex's premium features (and also requires setting a TV tuner up with Plex).  Several years ago, I bought a lifetime Plex Pass when it was on sale for half price, so I'm able to use its premium services forever (hopefully they don't change that).

Yeah, since the switch to digital broadcasts, it seems it's difficult or impossible to get some channels over the air unless you live relatively close to the broadcast antennas, which is a bummer.
