It&#8217;s the type of one-step setup app that really appeals to me, especially for a novelty use case like this.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I&#8217;ve started spending more time with the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, I was curious whether there&#8217;s a live TV app like this for Android. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot out there, whether it&#8217;s Kodi add-ons, or platforms like ErsatzTV, QuasiTV, DizqueTV, but they&#8217;re all pretty complicated to get up and running.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve read my work before, you&#8217;ll know that I like to keep things simple, so naturally, I landed on QuasiTV, a free app that&#8217;s very similar to Coax, but for Android TV and Fire TV Stick devices.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-quasitv-anyway\">\n                        What is QuasiTV anyway?<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"turn-your-plex-or-jellyfin-library-into-your-own-live-tv-platform\">\n            Turn your Plex or Jellyfin library into your own live TV platform<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p> At a basic level, QuasiTV takes your Plex or Jellyfin library of TV shows and movies and generates channels from it. They&#8217;re organized automatically into a 24-hour schedule that updates every 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The idea behind platforms like QuasiTV is that, rather than scrolling through never-ending menus and getting stuck in analysis paralysis mode, you just stumble across a TV show or movie playing live that you didn&#8217;t expect to find, or a movie you forgot you even had on your server.
