Problematic app... Causing the Extend to crash

Outdated platform and no longer compatible to the newer iOS devices... Loading extremely slow and will cause the Extend extension on your PC to crash...

Out if date software

Pros: once connected works well even on weak signal with a nice and clear picture.

Cons:
Very slow at connecting to channels!
Clunky out of date software.
No EPG or details on listing.
No rewind or forwards option on paused shows or even recorded strangely.

All in all it does what it say on the tin, but just poorly.

Please update, its well over due!

Easy to Setup, Won’t Work

I can get the app to come up in a local connection only on my iPhone 8. But, about 30 seconds will play and then start over.. it will keep doing that until I end the app. SAD! Hauppauge makes great products but crappy software!!!

Ne fonctionne pas

Refuse de s’ouvrir sur iPhone 8 et sur iPad 6 ème génération.

Lotsa bugs

I’ve been able to get this to work over a local network but the app is pretty clunky. Ongoing need to use workarounds e.g. when you close the app, server remains with its CPU maxed out transcoding for no good reason, so you need to kill the app and then restart it again to get the server to stop. Switching channels needs to be done twice, the first time it doesn’t really take and instead of the new channel the old one comes up again. Very preventable nuisances that make for an awful user experience.
