Ratings and Reviews
Disappointed with Apple TV App
This review is for the Apple TV app the iOS App doesn’t have these issues.
I’m aware it’s just been released but they should have tested this in the real world first. It’s very buggy using the Live Guide sometimes crash’s the App, the time bar is incorrect during playback, FF and REW are terrible there is no timeline so you have no idea where you are in the program and it only skips it doesn’t fast forward. You can’t record anything only play what been recorded via another App. There are too many other issues to list.
I can see this has a lot of potential but it has a long way to go.
Nowhere near as good as it should be
I’ve used this app for years, and always been disappointed by it, mainly because of its obscure, inconsistent and unreliable UI Finally I have had enough, and I have given up on it for good. Why? Because the authors have utterly failed to address its shortcomings, and because I have discovered the Channels app - which is everything that this app should have been, and more.
The HDHomeRun device is absolutely brilliant, but let down by its app. My advice? Don’t waste your time and energies on this sub-standard and under-supported mess, but rather, once you've received your HDHomeRun device, go straight to the Channels app and save yourself some grief!
Poor app and poor support
My home network is a little more complex than average. I have a separation between wifi and wired. I therefore expected the app's auto-discovery to fail but then it gives you no option to put in an IP address or URL or anything. Support suggested that I completely reconfigure my network and then closed the call! They wouldn't even say what traffic needed to be allowed through a firewall (I found that in a forum entry).
I found InstaTV to be much better and would recommend it to anyone with the same issues.
