1. I can open it and view the default channel but cant access the remote, change channels, view the guide, access recording features or anything else.
2. and, of course, one can't get an answer from them without paying for the privilege... edit 8/19: without the old remote that used to be in the screen any sort of navigation becomes a series of juggled screensThis app has been trash the entire time I've had it (4+ years).
3. The app isint even worth $1.99 yet alone $14! The interface for the iPad is the best one - why can't I see the full DirecTV remote on my HIGHER RESOLUTION Android? onger wonky buttons instead.This app used to work somewhat but stopped months ago.
4. This worked on both my samsung phones.Figured out why previous paid app purchase does not register on new free app version.
5. Now I'm forced to try and contact the developers and wait for some solution.Gone downhill... I purchased the ad free edition and I can see ads downloading in the background when I click 'start watching' through network monotoring.
6. I reinstalled it and now it wants to access my local files, control my phone as in make phone calls, and access my location.
7. Can't change channels using the guide view, only gallery view.
8. Too bad as it's a great technology but getting left behind with all the other apps.I appreciate that there's an app to view my Slingbox on Android.
9. if I can't access it remotely without granting unreasonable access permission maybe it's time for the thing to hit the bin.This is how to use the better older app that the picture would freeze or go black if you still have it or can get it.
10. Sling Media removed the previous paid version from the app store and with it the records of our previous purchase.
11. The "free" app is complete garbage as the controls take up the entire screen.
