What happened to Live TV?

Everything worked just fine until I went to iOS 27. Live tv is gone. Everything else works. Recordings are still able to be played. But the Live Tv doesn’t work anymore. Please fix soon since I primarily use this to watch football.

Latest update broke live tv

With the latest update live tv no longer works on my iPad

Will not ask for network access on iOS

The prior app had network access. When it updated to this version, network access is not present and there does not seem to be a way to make it ask for the network access, making my unit useless.

Nope! April update broke it

Now network issue is WORSE! Amazon is a joke.
