I stayed with MCE for the longest time "because it just worked" for recording of shows...then we had to begin fiddling with it....occasionally it would just stop grabbing listings and you'd have to pull it up and do a manual pull...then win 7 became unsupported....when they announced they would stop providing listings I knew I was going to have to pay SOMEONE for listings. Rather than a monthly fee I preferred a one time fee and luckily I had two friends already using plex who raved about it. Now not only can I access my own plex server but both of theirs as well....I'm using plexamp heavily to play music in the car. It's set it and forget it as far as recording shows and they recently released free streaming channels I have not even fiddled with yet as I already have roku tv's. In my opinion it's worth the $75 easy...I'd pay the $99 (it goes on sale for this more commonly) if I had to and I'd suffer till a sale came around for the > $100 price. I have 4 hdhomerun tuners (oh yeah I had to patch MCE to supporot 4 hdhomerun's because it only supported 4 tuners, not 8) and they worked right out of the box. As an added bonus as Ive upgraded to newer tuners over older hdhr units I've found they are able to pull in some channels the older can't...you can configure the guide only to tune certain channels to certain tuners....this also works better for the older hdhr units that had two antenna inputs because you could have one antenna pointing one direction and another pointing the opposite direction to maximize channels received.
Truthfully though, I've begun streaming shows on the roku more than OTA although I still browse the "upcoming movies" which is another feature I loved in MCE and wanted in the replacment....Plex's is basically identical with it showing the "icons" of the shows. There are postprocessing scripts that work well to remove commercials and compress to mkv or mp4. Plex has some options baked in but they don't support HEVC (50% smaller files...more cpu usage) and when AV1 is publically usable the script will handle it long before it's baked into plex. I'm a big open source fan so rest assured if Im leaning toward the pay product it's giving bang for the buck.
Plex recently added in "Skip intro" and "skip commercial" support so it works like the old replaytv's used to (where I also had a "lifetime" subscription) but they didn't support digital tv and it's "subchannels" ie 3.1, 3.2, 3.3.
In August 2019 the code "PLEXFORLIFE" would work to get plexpass for $75 so you might try that. Doubtful though if it's truly targeted.
If they feel like it's good marketing to only send it out to a few people, so be it. But don't make the code single use or account specific. I'm sure Plex are losing customers to Emby because they are tired of looking through threads like this and feeling like they haven't been selected by the Plex email gods again.
I would love to get someone's code that isn't going to use it. I should have bought lifetime years ago but month to month I keep hoping that I get one of these targeted emails. You would think that after 5+ years that I would have just bit the bullet but I hate the idea of paying more than I have to. It seems to be working out for me
Great deal. I bought it.

I can't be bothered dealing with the scanners in Emby when Plex finally works smoothly across all devices. I tried doing dual servers for a while but I just couldn't get into it. It took long enough to get the autoscanning and 10 libraries working well with Plex. Maybe Jellyfin is better than Emby, I haven't tried it extensively.
Plex Pass just lets you do things like sync the libraries to your devices for offline play, and I believe you can set it to automatically sync a show, so then you always have the episodes as new ones are downloaded. For streaming, though, you can stream Plex to yourself, 99 other friends, to your phone, PC, all without Plex Pass, over local and over wifi. You can view your friend's Plex as well. It's $5 for the phone app (iOS/Android) but it's completely free on any streaming stick (Fire Stick, Roku) and free on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
There are some other Plex Pass features like some music support, not having to pay for the mobile app anymore (I think friends may be included in this), and there are more viewable statistics for your Plex users, as well as an added GPU-enabled transcoder option.
