Getting OT, but I tried to buy getchannels but it didn't work. Like I literally was unable to purchase. I reached out and never heard back, so I gave up.

The Shield TV also deinterlaces MPEG2 video correctly. This is noticeable if you have Fios as you mentioned. It can also serve as a sort of storage server over samba. As someone else mentioned it can also run Plex SERVER. It can also run Emby server. The only think I am missing from it is Dolby Visi...

Last time I tested, live viewing of the same channel in multiple places only used a single tuner. But this was several app versions and several firmwares ago. there must be something off with your config.

Yes but then you are degrading the surround sound.

Had stuttery / "slow-mo" playback after update (not on beta versions anymore - went from the last stable...I think august... to this version). I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling (vs. upgrading). Note that if you aren't careful you will lose your recordings. Easiest workaround is to move or ...

the 20190206 stable release has the same problems , local channels abc,cbs,nbc,cw all play in slow mode ,also they all play in slow mode from the dvr for these channels . The work around , turning on ac3 passthrough turns the sound off . so that gives me the choice of no sound and good picture or s...

Had same problem. I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling (vs. upgrading). Note that if you aren't careful you will lose your recordings. Easiest workaround is to move or copy recordings out of the silicondust storage folder, then uninstall, then reinstall, the reenable DVR features, then copy t...

You don't have to go back to Live TV. After step 2, just Double click on the game you want. I've not done this on my Android box, but I assume there is a way.

Just tried this on Win10 and it doesn't work. A single click asks if I want to record, but never offers to tune to the given channel.

I know there are planned UI improvements. Are they also UX improvements, specifically improvements to workflow? For example, If I want to watch a particular college basketball game on a Saturday, it's SUPER cumbersome to do so if I don't already know which channel it is on. Currently I have to: 1) S...

It would have been really good to know that uninstalling the app would delete all my recordings on the device. This is the kind of thing that drives people mad. Try putting your HDD on a PC and running Recuva. https://filehippo.com/download_recuva I'm letting mine run overnight. Looks like it's gra...

It would have been really good to know that uninstalling the app would delete all my recordings on the device. This is the kind of thing that drives people mad. It is in the install docs … Note: • WARNING: Android will automatically delete your recordings if you use Android for recordings and you u...

We have confirmed a framerate problem in the beta app release for Shield. I new beta release will be out shortly. Nick Edit: turns out I AM in the beta program through google play. My apologies for any confusion. App version says 20190122. Am getting the major stuttering due to the app forcing 24hz...

on the devices with stuttering problems, you were updated to the beta app. if you do not want to have beta apps pushed to you, you should uncheck it in the menu when you pause/play 13 times in the app on each device. I wouldn't do this until after they push the fix tho. Edit: turns out I AM in the ...

Just chiming in. I'm happy as well. Occasional quirks happen with recordings but that might have to do with fiddling with networking in the house. Not to mention that hey guess what sometimes cableco equip has quirks and screws up too. I have plenty of friends and relatives who lose ALL of their rec...
