Can’t find the device.

Solid hardware… software is a state of affairs
Back then, I think the ‘Connect’ was the first product line, so I understood that a new company making a new application on a new platform (i/PadOS vs TV) needed to ship something functional before working on platform-specific integration and interface. I remember seeing release notes or similar declaring they had patented the user interface, which I took to be a developer with a sense of humour about how bad it was.
Revisiting this app today, I fear they have employed a clueless developer whose only Apple device is his mate’s Xcode simulator, with no clue what they’re like to use, no clue that Apple publishes idiot-proof user interface guidelines… and I’m left with no clue what device he’s testing this on such that the experience approaches intuition.
Channels is now free for mobile devices. Plex, EyeTV, Jellyfin etc. all provide applications that were made for the platform they run on for little or no cost, so I recommend users choose one of those (patently) superior options.
