Less than a week after I purchased the app they released an update that made it completely unusable for me - channels keep loading forever and never display any video. Their support team stopped responding after I requested a refund.

Good, but not able to customize the size of Closed Caption. The font is too large.

Just purchased this and I get no EPG. HDHomerun app showing it fine. Money wasted.

I bought this app because it supports HDHOMERUN Prime only to find I can't use it because all my cable channels are DRM protected. Ok my bad for not reading the About all the way through to the bottom, but is there any hope of that support in the future? Couldn't get a refund because Google says you don't meet their refund policy. Nice...

Initially the app failed to play video and after contacting support, they suggested changing an advanced playback setting to use the hybrid driver. Worked like a champ; superb app and support.

Loved this app on AppleTV but on my Nvidia shield it would always want to update the firmware of my devices unless I rebooted the shield. After a reboot I would get channels but it could not change the tuner to those channels. The continues work will on AppleTV, but it is unusable on the Shield.

Great app. Way better UI than HDHomerun and Android native Live Channels app. The option to change between software/hardware acceleration is great since some channels naturally produce artifacts on my Nvidia Shield; changing to software acceleration fixes this issue. However, I do wish I could choose which channels I can apply this to. I only need 2 channels to use software acceleration while I prefer the others to use hardware acceleration. Is this a possible feature that can be implemented?
