I am VERY new to Plex, so please excuse my ignorance. I see that there's a way to add channels to Plex, which are essentially (in my mind) the same thing as installing those apps to the Shield, Apple TV, or other device.
So what is the benefit of adding the channel to Plex instead of just installing it to the device?
When I tried to add Channels just to see what it even was, the list of available channels was very small (maybe around 30?), and a lot of them I could get through the Google Play store. Maybe there's a much larger list and I'm just not accessing it correctly. I have a Plex Pass, and I think one of the benefits of that is to have access to more channels, but maybe I'm mistaken or maybe without the Plex Pass I would have access to maybe 5 channels.
