I like it.  I think the only downside right now with Plex is that although the HDHomerun Flex 4K (the model I have) supports the newer ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard, Plex doesn't support the audio codec used in those broadcasts.  Plex can record ATSC 3.0 broadcasts but it won't get the audio.  The major TV networks have ATSC 3.0 signals in my area, and I'd like to be able to record those with Plex (as those seem to get better reception than the older broadcast signals).

The game show Jeopardy is broadcast here on a station where their older signal (which Plex is fully copmatible with) has spotty reception for me, so I've been recording that show with the HDHomerun's DVR (instead of Plex) using the ATSC 3.0 broadcast.
