Seems like censorship is going on. Not surprised

Weird how shows not friendly to the Government corruption are last to be updated in remote viewing and always have issues.

Watching recordings very painful!

Trying to watch recordings and to go forward/backward breaks the recording! Closing out and re-opening, takes you back to beginning!

Updated version

The updated version of this app SUCKS!!! Can’t get anything to populate on the DVR recordings, doesn’t show what is recording, scheduled recordings is off, the guide isn’t helpful. You click on a show to see info on it and it tries playing. Why the change??? Go back to the old version.

Great app

Tons of fun use it all the time
DRDish satellite review

When it works…

The biggest issue is when it doesn’t work or you spend 20-30 minutes trying to get it to work, extremely frustrating when you want to watch a live sporting event.. The most common issue is it stating that my Hopper isn’t connected to the internet, when in fact I have someone at home to verify that it is in FACT connected… so when it works properly it is very good.
