1. The font is too large.2023 hardly works anymore on my Samsung devices, gone back to the official app, shameafter several years on Live Channels on my Shield TV, I stumbled upon this app which I find better than Live Channels and even more than the HDHomerun app, it is way more user friendly and stable.
2. The option to change between software/hardware acceleration is great since some channels naturally produce artifacts on my Nvidia Shield; changing to software acceleration fixes this issue.
3. Also the Oreo "on now" only has static images and not live previews like the built in one.I bought this app because it supports HDHOMERUN Prime only to find I can't use it because all my cable channels are DRM protected.
4. Is this a possible feature that can be implemented?While I like the interface and the guide the inability to directly input numbers such as 101 or 6 really makes it hard to use over the built in live channels on Android TV.
5. I wish it had more options for remote control customisation.A great app that lets me watch streamed TV when home or away from my Hdhomerun devices, something that the Hdhomerun software doesn't allow.
6. The continues work will on AppleTV, but it is unusable on the Shield.Downloaded to try, as was having issues getting the native HDHomerun app working on our installation.
7. Way better UI than HDHomerun and Android native Live Channels app.
8. I only need 2 channels to use software acceleration while I prefer the others to use hardware acceleration.
9. Nice...Loved this app on AppleTV but on my Nvidia shield it would always want to update the firmware of my devices unless I rebooted the shield.
10. Also the channels are slightly incorrectGood, but not able to customize the size of Closed Caption.
11. However, I do wish I could choose which channels I can apply this to.
