If you have already setup a 'DVR' within Plex you will need to delete it first to change the Guide listings to be able to use IceTV, click on the 'Delete DVR' button to do this. Select 'LiveTV & DVR' from the side menu. Plex Media Server can then receive free TV streams, convert them to a digital format, and then save the video for later use or live streaming to a compatible device. However, they can be used on many Smart TVs without any additional hardware, or on streaming media boxes like AppleTV, Roku, FireTV, etc… They can also be watched on smart phones, tablets, and laptops. On the Plex server webpage go into Settings. I would recommend simply switching from DirecTV to one of the various streaming services, like YouTubeTV, SlingTV (not related to SlingBox!), Hulu LiveTV, DirectTV STREAM, etc… Of course, these services do require a decent broadband internet connection. But, Plex has not way to connect to your Satellite DVR. Plex can also act as an Over The Air (OTA) DVR, as long as you have a compatible OTA Antenna and tuner, like the HD HomeRun. Plex can organize your library of digital movies, TV shows, photos, music, etc… and make that content easy to access on your TV, phone, tablet or laptop/desktop. How to use Plex as a DVR Go to settings in Plex Media Server. No, Plex Media Server/Clients are not designed to capture an HDMI/Component video signal and retransmit like those old SlingBox devices did. In order to record to your Plex server you have to set up destinations folders. I only need it to display whatever content is on my DirecTV DVR, live or recorded content. Perform simultaneous operations like watch live video, record, and review video files.
