Understood, but my Plex is wired ethernet connected and haven't ever had 
issues with that.

I don't even watch any of the free Live TV channels, and don't have a TV 
tuner.  I have regular cable TV service too, with a DVR, so don't need 
that function on the Plex.  I realize my usage is probably not the 
typical setup, but it's all I need it for, and works well for me.  :-)
