Negative Star

Don’t waste your money.
Followed all the instructions to connect and it never worked.

Disappointed

Doesn’t work. Tells me how to add my receiver with my remote.. why would I use this if I had a remote in here at the moment. 👎🏻

Works with H24-700 and a few others

We use this app to control 16 DVRs in a sports bar. It can be a little slow at times to refresh all the DVRs on the Home Screen, and sometimes have to restart a DVR to refresh the IP to the remote app but for the cost this has been an incredible resource for our business. Been using it for years 3+ years now. I have it on my phone as well as a couple managers and the hosts have it on an iPad. Simple and gets the job done.

Does not work at all

I downloaded the Lite version of this app and it worked. Unfortunately, it only allows control of one DTv box at a time.

I downloaded this app to control multiple DTv boxes, and this app does not scan the network successfully.
I tried to manually add the addresses and although it seems to connect (no errors), no remote appears.
I went to app settings to select “allow manual”, and that makes the “manual” tab disappear entirely!!

I will rewrite a review if the problems are fixed.
