Didn’t work :(

Didn’t work they stole my money. Feel so bad!!! :( Please don’t buy this

It used to work great! What happened?

The app constantly now works for a day then doesn’t work for a week! It keeps doing this. PLEASE FIX IT! I paid a small fortune for all these apps from this developer to work on both my Apple TV and iOS devices because I got them when they first came out! Where’s my refund?

Channels Issue

Channels on my Apple TV is no longer picking up my tuner. Phone and iPads work fine, but Apple TV acts as if no tuner is in place.

Doesn’t yet support AirPlay 2

I recently purchased Channels for my AppleTV 4K, which I use with my HomePod for audio. Unfortunately I discovered after purchasing the Channels app for appletv that the app doesn’t yet support the new Airplay 2 protocol, which results in an audio delay mismatched with the picture. All other apps on appletv that support AirPlay 2 work fine with audio on HomePod. Otherwise the app works great. Can you please let me know when or if you plan on adding airplay 2 support for your TV app? Will change to 5 stars once this happens...Thanks!

Great but doesn’t play well with HomePod

It’s a great app. The interface is very user friendly and useful. Much better than the Plex TV DVR app. However, it doesn’t play well with HomePod. Sound syncing is hit or miss. Sometimes it’s spot on and sometimes it’s way off and I have to restart the app to get it in sync again. I don’t have this syncing problem with any other app, just this one. Super annoying. Also, there’s no way to change the sound output from inside the app. All other apps let me change the output on the fly with the drop down menu in the app. With Channels I have to completely exit the app if I want to change from HomePod to my surround system. It’s a shame because otherwise I really, really like this app.
