Just had a look at what‘s available. As expected, total dross. Not a single channel with anything that I was even remotely interested in watching.
Got a tip for us?

Sounds like most of tv today. I end up streaming my Apple purchases most of the time.
They keep adding stuff but won’t fix problems that exist in Plex(some have been there for years).
I have been a Plex Pass lifetime member for years, used to love it.
It seems that with almost every update now they add more bloat, more mess. The app is horrible to navigate and has been for some time.

And, in the time it took them to implement this (or, probably a HECK OF A LOT LESS), they could have actually implemented some useful features their user-base has been screaming at them for (in some cases for like 7 years!).
For example, the photo library doesn't let you select a group of images and 'download' them locally, oh I don't know, so you can actually USE them!
Or, one of my favorites, being their claim to fame was a video library... they you similarly can't just easily 'download' those videos/moves to your local device to take with you. You have to 'sync' them, which means they often get re-encoded/transcoded, which means if you pick a half-dozen movies for that upcoming trip, you'd better hope you did that a week in advance!
