Inefficient
Needs some improvements!
1) Add the option to choose a smaller buffer for high-speed connections, & a larger buffer for low-speed connections. This will solve the problem of people not having enough hard-drive room/RAM to prevent their streams from freezing.
2) Add the regular fast forward & rewind buttons. I will stop & watch commercials if they look interesting, this way. Skipping forward by 30 seconds almost guarantees I won't watch them.
3) Add the ability to see what channel all the tuners are on, which are recording, and which is being viewed on the TV.
4) Allow viewing of shows/movies/events without recording them.
5) Be able to select different Channels or recording dates when modifying a recording. A future recording shouldn't have to be deleted to see what other recording options there are.
Please make these changes for an app worthy of 5 stars! :)Show lessAriaLHM
New app is a letdown
One example: My Shows has new glossy graphics. It may look better but it’s virtually unusable. In many cases you can’t read the name of the episode or date of the recording. The old version had a simple tabular interface. Not as pretty but perfectly fit the functionality it was supporting. This version is designed for the sake of form. Folks, good design means form follows function. Very disappointing from a company that has seemed to understand that and delivered superior products. No longer - sad.Show lessOldDogThree
Version 4 is horrible
I wish you had access to the old version. The new version has difficulty connecting with my main unit even in the house. Downloading a show will take me 3 to 4 times as long as it used to with the older version. The new were version is much more difficult to navigate through. Granted, it looks nicer, but if the nicer Lux take up so much more processing on the CPU, it’s just not worth it. I just can’t believe there’s been no updates in four months to address these issues.Show lessDrJBDC
Old was better
The download function has gotten worse. I still don’t understand that when you download something in a less that perfect WiFi network you end up with a download that can’t play. Downloading files has been something that has been done already even in thought network situations I downloaded a 3 part thing and the first episode craps out in the first 10 seconds. Completely unacceptable. And let’s not talk about the bad way of displaying Downloaded filesShow lessJim020764
Can’t swipe to delete from My Recordings any more
The latest release has more snazzy graphics but makes it much harder to do one of the primary tasks I use the app for - managing my recorded shows on the box. I used to be able to swipe left on a single recording from the main My Shows view to delete it, or in the case of series, swipe left on individual episodes on the series page to delete them. Now I have to go into each episode to delete, and there is no option to “stop recording now and delete” for something actively recording - have to wait till the recording is complete. I don’t need more pretty graphics or “more ways to discover”. I just need basic recording management back, in as few taps as possible. Please!Show lessJingoroKitty_10
Wish I could give zero stars
This newer version is horrible. I don’t have to use it often but every time I do, it makes me log in again AND usually makes me reset my password even though I’ve recorded my password from the last time.
If I search for something on Live TV, it used to have a simple “Watch Now” option. That is gone. It’s a guessing game of hitting options until you find the right one. Trying to set a recording is an even worse nightmare.
The remote portion of the app used to look just like the handheld remote, making all the functions easy to find and use. That was awesome but of course they got rid of it. Now it’s just a flat chart of “buttons” whose placement makes no sense whatsoever.
I only use this app for the simplest of functions but it can barely do that! Bring back the old version at least, but definitely scrap this one!Show lessTearose8375
Who made these decisions?
Although there are some aspects that I like about the new version (I like being able to come up immediately to my to do list) it is no longer possible to left swipe on something that is recorded to delete it. You have to go into each program and delete it. Please bring back that feature. It would also be nice if we could save our preferences for recording. For example I never want to get streaming versions. But I always have to choose recordings only.Show lessPoolmwv
Dec upgrade is crap
I waited as long as possible to download the latest update being as I’ve had issues in the past. This one is by far the worst. I’m in the process of downloading ALL my previously downloaded shows....WTH! Why am I having to do this? This is ridiculous.
Now I’m no longer able to see the air dates of my shows which was a previous feature I actually found helpful. I also can’t figure out how to toggle between shows I’ve recorded and those I’ve downloaded to my IPad.
“improvements” aren’t IMO! As per usual I’m sure some poor employee had to come up with this update in order to justify his/her job when there wasn’t any real need to change the look or feel. Was anyone complaining I wonder!Show lessfedupwithtivo
Frozen now
I have had the same issues with downloaded shows. The download often stalls part way along. What I do download often does not play well. Now the app just want start at all. I have downloaded about 10 shows so I hate to delete and reinstall the app. I think I am just going to try using the browser interface to watch my shows. I had started downloading because streaming with the app was hopeless. It would stop randomly and when you restarted streaming it would go back to the beginning of the show. Hard to imagine any app that functions more poorly.Show lesshas29650
Big disappointment
The new user interface is poor in numerous ways and a big step back compared to the earlier app (prior to the big change in the UI). The app is also very slow to start. It’s not easy to switch between different units in different rooms. Imagine your remote taking 5 seconds to work each time you pick it up. Fail! The shading that attempts to show which option is selected in various locations images makes it difficult to see which option is selected (white vs off white). Why not use color? The fonts used are tiny and it’s just not intuitive.Show lesstexastechguy
