Update Frustration
Going through the process of restarting the modem, restarting the Apple TV and uninstalling the app and reinstalling the app just for the sake of ad tracking was enough to justify canceling the subscription. You were saved by my love of Svengoolie.
Recording a movie
If you are watching the Hallmark channel and you see a movie that is going to debut in two or three weeks you can’t go to the search bar, find the movie and record it once because it will record it five or six times. You have to record it from the guide, which is impossible for a movie that’s going to be so far in the future. customer service was no help.

I’ve been using frndly TV since it came out
Friendly TV has gotten better and better. With more and more stations. When I first got it, I think it had about 10 or 12 stations. I love the shows. It’s very inexpensive and I’ve never ever had a problem with it.
DVR leaves something to be desired
I mostly use this for the kids because of MeTV toons. The problem is that metadata for shows are sent to the dvr sometimes as full blocks or sometimes as individual shorts. The auto play is not configurable so it just throws up the next item on the list. I put it on Woody Woodpecker, it plays one short, and then autoplays Moonfall. Over and over. Like I’ve been transported to a 1940s cinema. Even when I deleted Moonfall, it would still queue it up and play it. This went on for months.
There is no rhyme or reason for why some cartoon blocks are treated as one block but then the same block is treated as shorts. Bugs Bunny also does it depending on if it’s MeTv toons(daily block) or MeTv weekend (all shorts). So I have like 300 episodes of this cartoon block.
Then there are repeats. If it’s a repeat it shows multiple airings but then you play an episode and it plays the last one you watched.
Hopefully this is fixed.

Frustrated
I’ve loved this app for several years but something has changed with the recent updates.
In the past, if I recorded a show I thought I might like, but didn’t, I could cancel future recordings by clicking on the show, saved in ‘My Stuff’, select ‘delete’ and then ‘delete current and future recordings’ or something like that.
That is no longer an option. Now I keep getting recordings of the shows that I ended up not liking and deleting… they show up again in ‘my stuff’. Apparently I have to delete them from the guide now… but if they are movies that aren’t broadcasted on a regular basis, that is about impossible!!! Ugh!!!
Please make it user ‘frndly’ again!!!
