I don't know how to use Plex to *record* broadcast TV, but hopefully 
Nightfox will answer that part.  As for *capturing* local broadcasts, 
pretty much everything (local) is available these days (in high 
definition, no less) over the air; which can be received with an HDTV 
antenna (sort of like the old fashioned "rabbit ears" type thing).  
Available at somewhere like Walmart for $30-50, and they work 
surprisingly well.  Doesn't even have to be on the roof or anything, 
just hang it in a window and it just works.
