If your preferred Plex platform is a streaming player, game console, smart TV or mobile device, you'll have to go through one additional step. Setup is now done, and you can enjoy live TV on your computer or Shield TV. Again, the program will do this in the background if you don't do it now, so you can't screw this up either way. But, I get an additional two tuners, and its a cheaper device (Found on Amazon for $99, and Best Buy has deals every now and then on it too).You can start watching programs right away, but if you wait a little while (somewhere between 5 and 30 minutes, in our experience), you'll know exactly what programs are playing as soon as you start using Plex. Transcode turned on the extend, and doing a live stream to my phone, would still end up having the server to do additional transcoding, which IMO defeats the purpose, and degrades the quality even more.ĭisabling the transcoding, and letting the server just transcode when needed (normally when the station broadcasts in 1080i) would net be better quality, with the same consumption of power from the server. My plex server is on an intel nuc with a quad-core i7 and intel 630 graphics. But when it was transcoding, it wasn't much of a difference. I recently upgraded to Fiber, and was previously on a 100down internet package, so I'm not worried about the transcoding feature anymore to save bandwidth. I've used the extend for half a year, and it works great.

For me, I am selling my extend and keeping the Quatro, and here's why.

So I have both the Quatro and the Extend. Please go to the relevant subreddits and support forums, for example:
