Cord-cutters might already know about Plex, a media server that lets you stream your videos to a variety of devices. Between now and September 17, you can get a 20% discount on a lifetime Plex Pass, bringing it down to $95.99. To get it, visit the site, sign up, and enter promo code PLEXLIKEAPRO at checkout.
The free version of Plex offers a lot of functionality on its own, including letting you stream your digital media (movies, music, photos, etc.) to any device with a Plex app. That includes phones, tablets, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X, and Series S.
The premium Plex Pass is mostly geared towards people who want more flexibility with their local over-the-air broadcast TV. With a Plex Pass, antenna, and tuner, you can record any local channel in your area to watch back later. It works exactly like a DVR, so you can set recording schedules and pause, fast-forward, and rewind whatever you record, be it sports, news, primetime TV, or Jeopardy (whoever the next host may end up being).
You can also watch live broadcast TV from any device with a Plex app, including your phone, tablet, laptop, etc. That gives you a lot of flexibility, since watching broadcast TV typically requires, you know, a TV.
A handful of other features are also included with Plex Pass, including downloading your media, automatic camera uploads to your Plex Media Server, early access to new Plex features, timed lyrics when listening to compatible songs, photo albums, and more.
Plex Pass typically costs $4.99 for a month, $39.99 for a year, or $119.99 for a lifetime pass. This deal brings the lifetime pass down 20%, which is a pretty sweet deal for anyone looking for an OTA DVR solution.
