Rule 1 - Don't be a dick

Don't be a dick. This includes any kind of trolling, baiting, etc. Bigotry may result in an instant permaban.


Rule 2 - No misleading or non-descriptive titles

No misleading or non-descriptive titles. Try to be brief but detailed.


Rule 3 - Keep post and comments relevant

Posts must be related to Plex and Plex-related products, apps. etc. Try to keep comments relevant to the parent comment and to the post.


Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.

Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post

I'd like to give a family member access to my live TV for the olympics, but I don't want to give someone who doesn't really know what they're doing that sort of control inside my account.

will the pin keep them out? or do they need the pin in the first place

have them create their own plex.tv account (or do it for them and send them the password), then add them as a friend in 'Manage Library Access'.

Yep. Unless they’re frequently sharing devices with you, don’t use home.

You can’t share live TV this way, so it doesn’t really help OP. They could do this, then just DVR everything though.
