In this way, can you run Plex on a NAS?

You can use Plex with a NAS device in two ways: as a simple movie storage drive, or as storage and transcoding hardware. There are some serious limitations to the latter, all depending on the type of NAS you own, how powerful it is, and what kind of processor it's running.

Additionally, how do I stream my NAS to my TV? The easiest way is to use an HDMI cable which connects to the NAS drive's HDMI Out port to one the TV's HDMI in ports. The great thing here is that your TV doesn't have to be Smart TV, only it should have at least one HDMI port. However, NOT all NAS drives come with HDMI ports built-in.
