Apple TV app (tvOS)

[jseymour]

Looking forward to this happening, because Channels app has gone on a direction not suitable for european users. They have no option to just subscribe to DVR, we have to pay a monthly fee for features we can't use here in Europe.

To what "monthly fee for features we can't use" do you refer? I've been subscribed to Channels DVR for two years and we're paying the same fee now we always have. They've added capabilities to the Channels DVR, but their fee structure has not changed.

At least here in Finland we cannot use TV Everywhere feature, so paying for it seems kinda silly?

I don't even know if we even can use it. I've no interest in it. But, again: We've been subscribed to Channels DVR for two years and we're paying the same fee now we always have. They did not increase their fees when they added support for TVE. So I don't see where you're getting that you'd be paying for something you're not using.

Do you expect them to give you a discount on the fee they did not increase because you can't use an added feature for which they didn't charge?

It would be nice to see airplay support added to the new hdhomerun app for Apple TV. Right now it only plays through tv speakers and not my homepods I am using as tv speakers.

Thanks!

Can’t you set the audio output through tvOS? That’s been available since tvOS version 13.

EDIT: now I see what you mean. It just ignores your audio output selection doesn’t it? That’s annoying.

Basically this is an alpha level app. Kind of a proof of concept that you can actually use the software to display TV broadcasts from the HDHR tuner and that’s about it. I am sure it will get better

I was super excited, that is until I found out that there was no DRM! C'mon guys. No DRM = back to "Channel's - Live TV" which has the nicer GUI. There is no reason for me to use your app without the DRM. Please, please, please make this work for both Apple TV OS and Apples OS Catalina.

This is an initial release where DVR hasn't been added and there are still some minor sound issues being resolved (which should now be all good in the update going out soon). The entire app has been recreated for the Apple TV from scratch. These things will take time.

I'm using a HDHomeRun DUAL gen-1/gen-2 (HDHR-EU / DVB-T) with firmware Version 20200225 and have been waiting for like forever for this app to be released... I was so excited to download it and get it working... But, to my dismay it looks like my device isn't supported as I just get a blank screen with only the controls across the bottom, no live tv

I tested with the Mac app and it all works fine... What's the story, will the HDHR DUAL ever be supported? Or is this just planned obsolescence in effect?

Would appreciate a reply, thanks!

Problem found and fixed - support for the legacy HDHomeRun models will be in the next release.

Wow, great, thanks for the reply Nick! Is there an ETA for when the update will be available and what the fixes/features are?
