Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

Are there legal ways today to have your own media server serving new TV shows? I see the point if you're sailing the high seas, but curios if there's other uses for one (for videos)

Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin are all legal, and each have ways to serve liveTV alongside your own locally stored content, and DVR that liveTV if you want. You'd just have to purchase a liveTV subscription from your local provider (or go the Pirate route ofc).

I forgot that live TV is a thing. I thought the primary use was to serve VOD

I have a couple of USB Hauppauge TV receivers in our HTPC which I use with NextPVR. I cut the ads from the recordings then bang them into Jellyfin

It's probably a TOS violation but you can combine it with pinchflat to strip ads and sponsored content from YouTube. It's not a general YouTube app though, rather you use it to preserve channels you're interested in.

You can also use Jellyfin to serve legally purchased music from bandcamp etc, or movies and TV shows ripped from Blurays and DVDs.
