- Do I need an antenna to use it?
- Yes. The Flex 4K has no tuner source of its own; it needs an over-the-air antenna connected to its coax input.
- Does it work with Plex?
- Yes. Plex recognizes it as a tuner for live TV and DVR, and it also works with Channels, Jellyfin, and the HDHomeRun app.
- Can it record shows without a computer?
- No. It has no storage or DVR software built in, so you need a Plex, Channels, or similar server to record.
- Does it support ATSC 3.0 NextGen TV?
- Yes, it tunes both ATSC 3.0 and ATSC 1.0, though some encrypted 3.0 channels are restricted in third-party apps.
- Can I connect it over Wi-Fi?
- No. It connects only by Ethernet, so it needs a wired network connection near the antenna.
- How many channels can it watch at once?
- Four. Each of the four tuners can tune a separate channel for live viewing or recording.
