Interesting that it wouldn't work without the internet.  But I guess it needs to check your account information etc..  One thing I like about Plex is that you can watch content with people remotely.  Also Plex keeps track of where you are so you can resume from where you left off in a video. Also, I don't want to pay for a bunch of different streaming services, which is one reason I like to run my Plex media server.

Even if you don't run a Plex media server, Plex has a lot of free content that you can stream online with the Plex client app.  They have some free movies & TV shows, and also a "live TV" section with channels and various shows they stream live throughout the day (it's very similar to the Roku Channel, if you've used that).
