iPhone Duo support needed! iOS Remote Control app up/down channel button needed to channel surf!

Please support the new iPhone Duo layout and wide screen form factor! Also the iOS remote control app channel up and down button needs to be fixed by developers so it enables channel surfing like you are swiping left/right! Please fix these issues ASAP some of us have been loyal users since 2016 from the early days!

Ruined my World Series

It cut out in the ninth inning and I’ll never forgive. Don’t use this for anything important

If cable is an option choose cable

My experience with Direct TV is it is very tempermental. I frequently have to re boot it. There is frequent buffering and sometimes it just quits working for a prepped of time.
