Anyone trying Plex DVR?

My Sky Q multiroom deal is up soon so looking at alternative ways to get TV / recordings to the bedroom(s).

Been thinking about upgrading the media server anyway and Plex DVR looks kinda interesting, bit different from the usual DVR with the way they present recordings but I do like the idea of having it all tie in with my Plex user profiles.

Anyone here trying it yet? Seems to still have some issues but could be promising if the Plex dev team actually keep working on it rather than going on to the next thing and leaving it half baked.

It does seem to be in early stages at the min, hopefully they will continue to develop it.

The lack of conventional epg is a bit odd, I know plex like to keep things consistent so the groupings make sense in some ways but to not even have a basic epg seems to be more down to licensing fees.

I do intend to try it but looking to buy a tuner second hand. Already have a youview box so plex would be for accessing recordings in the bedroom and live tv in the room without an aerial. From that review the HD homerun looks the better way to go as you have their own app as a backup (I don't have a mac and all the TV boxes are Android so should work ok).

It's a shame more dvrs aren't playing with wireless / networked multiroom. The sky q system can work well but too expensive, virgins system needs both boxes to be connected to the cable grid. I know you can get around it with catch up and live TV apps but just not as tidy.
