Channels DVR

This is the best home DVR product I've used. It is what Plex should be and isn't. I have an HDHomerun with ATSC3. Channels records and plays back these channels without problems such as 'no audio.' Plex has gone in the wrong direction, offering a bunch of ad-laden streaming channels instead of upgrading the DVR portion and other useful functions. Channels does it all and has a great interface. I have it running on a Synology NAS with clients on an Apple TV 4K and an iPhone. I had it on an Nvidia Shield TV but they broke the thing with a buggy android update.

I like having the Picture in Picture update for Android TV, although I would like to see an improvement in accessing it. Most apps have a UI button to provide the functionality. As many Android TV users do not use a keyboard, it might be beneficial to provide a button on screen to enable PiP (this could also help if/when supporting PiP on phones/tablets). For the remaining features, this app works as I expect, and hopefully I will have a chance to try the ATSC 3 functions at some point.

Too many bugs, and now since Android updated it doesn't work anymore I did all the steps three time still no change. I mean that was the definitely the last straw. Your app is not easy to use or understand. Why didn't you guys just push out an update like everyone else?!?!?!?!? Apps like yours are counter productive to the end users, all your app is a hacked together mess and this is why I don't feel sorry when big companies do the same features in their app but..... you know it actually works.

I am using this to replace the hdhr dvr app. In my opinion this is a much better product. The interface is much cleaner and the ability to watch out of house is what was really missing in hdhr. Customer service has been wonderful. Quick responses to my problems (my fault). Even emailed me to make sure problem was fixed. Monthly cost is more than hdhr but we'll worth it in my opinion.

Best app for watching TV and using DVR features. The app looks great visually and works great. Has all DVR features you would need. Also like the TVEverywhere feature that uses your cable, satellite, and streaming tv login to watch channels as well and it's grouped along your OTA or regular cable channels in the tv guide. However please note this feature is in beta and occasionally needs you to pay attention as TVE channels might not show up. Remote access and viewing is also available here.

Perfection, if you have an HDhomerun tuner and you want the best experience, this is the software to get. I am running the Channels DVR server on a Nvidia Shield. This does have a reoccurring cost, but it is worth it for me.

Ran into an issue after installing. I could hear TV programs, but not see them. I emailed support after midnight and received a reply in about a half hour. Was not expecting that! A simple setting change fixed the issue.

Very nice. Tried both this and Plex DVR (on Roku and Android TV) and Channels DVR is much better. Plex always has a delay while it gets ready to do something and frequently shows a delay timer, but Channels DVR is instantaneous. The service costs more than Plex DVR but it's worth it to me.

Unable to install on NVidia Shield. I get the error: "Can't install app "Channels DVR" Can't be installed. Try Again. and if the problem continues, get help troubleshooting (Error code: 963)" Contacted Channels support via twitter, was told to "Try contacting google play store support." I'll update this rating, if, and when I get this installed on my Nvidia Shield

Good sample .. missing some channels from cable needs guide when watching TV same time but out of the way TV everywhere too hard to configure does not work for me need port forwarding some people will not know how to do this.

Do not use this app, I paid for it and it dosent work as told, what a waist of 21 dollars, if you need to record in furture times use Iptv Extream, much better, I just hope for the 21 dollars I waisted they would come up with a fixed updated version,

So this TV app is great pay or not every channel on Android,iPod,iPad,tablet or PC etc..does GREAT not just on wifi but cell network data I also have my Android hooked up to a 10imch portable tv it does great on it.

Expensive subscription to use @£80 a year which is more than double price of the HDHR fees. Other than that it's a good app. Doesn't function properly on Pixel Slate

Finally a perfect DVR Media Center app. Works great on my phone as well as Amazon Fire Stick. Couldn't be happier!

I tried several times to install on my PC. It installed okay, but it won't let me buy a subscription. I really wanted to try this out, but it has been a struggle. If they don't want my money I'll keep using Plex.

Much better than plex

I had to adjust the settings in order for it to play at all. But after I fiddled with the settings, seems to work fine.

If you have a HDHomerun tuner, dont bother with thier own software. Just use this. Its perfect!

Very complicated to figure out & no where to find "easy click cancel" anywhere.

Still no Chromecast support. Would give 4-5 stars if it supports casting from Android App.

Best thing since Microsoft abandoned Windows Media Center.

Nvida sheild doesnt let you download most apps so to go around that got to chrome in nvida go to dvr channels apkpure and you will be able to download it there

Lightyears better then Plex for TV and DVR

Great program. Works all the time. Love it

Excellent app and service

Cannot use for TV Everywhere without a server.

Works well on shield tv with hdhomerun duo.
