Terrible

Worst streaming app i have ever used! This is the only streaming app i have had that constantly buffers.

Terrible

I swear you guys have no idea how to make an app work. Never can ff any commercials. Then today I see one of my fave shows Fox and friends weekend has been choked up and destroyed into a four hour section and you have chopped out whole sections of the show. Like you hate a conservative network.

Terrible app

On the app on Apple TV if you go to dvr to watch something that you recorded the fast forward goes backwards. Very frustrating because then I have to watch it again and even if I exit out it is still bad. The update was terrible and I think you need new IT guys with more experience. I know a person of you are interested.
