I saw that they have a docker image, is that one hard to setup too?
Thanks!

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.
That said, while Plex isn't perfect, I have found it very useful now that WMC7 is gone. Many great features and they work very hard to improve it. I currently run two servers with a total of 5 OTA tuners, though I used to have an HD Homerun Prime as well.
I agree with you and found Plex slow, awkward, and buggy compared with WMC for live TV DVR functionality. Going to try Jellyfin soon, looks promising. As I am using an internal 2 tuner hauppage card, I can't get Channels but might have to bite the bullet and spring for the network tuner it requires.
I do still use Plex almost daily for streaming the media that WMC records. Works great for that. It's just not even close to as polished as WMC for Live TV + DVR. But then again, nothing is.
