Bug found on apple tv 4th gen

The bottom info tab when playing a channel disappears and starts glitching out when you swipe to it. Instead of displaying fully you just see a top left portion of it the rest is transparent and flickering. Not sure what triggers it to happen. But it happens on both my apple tv 4th gen. Additionally once this happens the whole app becomes unresponsive to the point where the apple tv cannot exit it for a bit like it becomes stuck on the app. After a few seconds can close the app out . But the info tab remains glitchy . Im talking about the bottom pannel thing that says the title time and shows the seek bar. Basically it all becomes transparent and only a portion of the top left corner displays. It might be when hide Picture in Picture button is
turned off or when you close out of the app when it’s playing ? I don’t really know but it happens on both my Apple TVs. The only way to get it normal is reinstalling. Thanks.

Sucks

Support is useless. I bought this to be able to watch from home and you have to be an internet wizard to make it work. They refuse to help because it is a home network. The really bad thing is that my CBS and Fox channels disappeared , with a religious and Hispanic network in their place. Totalpiece of garbage. I’m using the HDHOMERUN DVR and it works great.

Very practical

I love the options of this app. Turning my local channels into a PVR is an amazing option. I catch up on the news anytime I want with practically any device I want.

Channels iPhone app

Channels iPhone app is a different cost from Apple TV app. Please be aware. App isn’t much better than HDHomeRun app on either devices. Multiview is not available through this app. Only through the dvr subscription app
