i don't get it, what was the purpose of me paying for this app, and in my honest opinion Google should delete this app from the Play Store, the developer hasn't touched it with any update in year, last update was 2015

Most recent Live Channels update is buggy so I am trying this tuner and it is working fine

Easier to use than HD homerun

Mit. C. Jul 10, 2015     

I already paid for codecs and now they remove sound and demand another $10 to get it back. RIP OFF! ------ SOLUTION; I replaced this app with the HDHRFLING app on my PC. Streams hdhomerun live TV to any browser. Free trial and ONE TIME fee for license. Works better than this app ever did. HD works fine.

Don't be fooled! I paid for this app awhile ago, and now there's a new release that disables sounds unless you pay another $10 in-app purchase to re-enable playback. Basically charging an extra $10 for features I already paid for once!

Using the free hardware codec with no bandwidth restrictions does the trick. However there is a very annoying glitch were turners are not released making the homerun to look busy and render it useless till a reset it done on the homerun box. InstaTV has the right codecs for this box with no pixelation and the right de-interlacing. this situation occurs with the built-in LiveTV app on this native AndroidTV box. I hope a fix its on their way.

I have old hdhomerun dual tuners which work great with windows media center & no plan to replace. This app allows me to watch live tv on our android & Fire devices with no other server side transcoder system like other solutions. (Most of which require the newer tuner models) so without media center extender app to stream from my windows media center this is next best option. As far as cons, it's bit clunky/finicky to setup & use. Requiring in app purchase to work kinda shady.

This is a rip-off!!! Do NOT Buy THIS APP (PRO). The version must be purchased via the mobile devices WITHOUT refund capability in Google Play. The Pro version (11 Oct 2016) has NO sound and the channel it played in HD (720) with no sound on the free version DOES NOT work with Pro ($9.99) version. Same network, same device, same bandwidth within 3 mins of upgrading. Do Not PURCHASE this app. Don't download the free version; is is fraud!!

I am using the oldest HDHomerun device possible (HDHR-US). It's the white antenna OTA box (two tuners). The official HDHomerun app and one other 3rd party app do not support the older devices. So, I found InstaTV. It was super easy to setup (after I ran the setup on my PC for the device itself). InstaTV found my dual tuner device instantly and I hooked up a $20 Monoprice antenna to it. I can now stream HD local channels to both of my Nvidia Shield TV devices in other ends of the house (the Shield TV devices even come with a "Live Channels" app that is compatible with InstaTV). Overall I'm super satisfied with this app - it does exactly what I want it to do. $10 seems a little steep, and there is no way to test the app fully because there is no sound without paying for the app, but at least you can get picture and you will know it's working with your setup. Great job!!! Hopefully you guys can continue to update it. I would LOVE to see programs details in the channel guide!

App works great when you use ethernet cable straight to the router from your media box. Works great with hdhomerun prime box programs.

A. G. u. Nov 10, 2015     

Does NOT function as described on an NVidia Shield Android TV. Both HW and SW decode just see the wait circle endlessly. No change after in app purchase of codecs. USELESS.

Pau. G. Jul 27, 2015     

Hope you have a backup that you can restore your previous version from. This version has very choppy video. Perhaps it's from all the extra overhead of updating the channel icons and information.

Bre. M. Apr 6, 2016     

The UI is just terrible. None of the hardware decoders work properly with my Nexus 5 on Android M.

Ste. V. Jul 11, 2017     

Has the right codec to make my HDHomeRun look right on a MiBox. But a bug where the app won't release the tuner when exiting is problematic.

Spe. P. Oct 9, 2015     

They offered a pro version ($4.86) when i bought it. They have since removed this version and are now requiring you to purchase a pack for $10 to get any sound.

Bud. V. Jul 24, 2015     

Apon trying to play drm channels from an hdhomerun-cc it told me I need needed to pay 10 bucks for the in app purchase. I did that and it still doesn't work. And in app purchase are not easily refundable.

Dan. O. Sep 8, 2016     

This is a significantly better interface than google's love channels or the hdhomerun app, however it absolutely needs search! Absolutely worth the money for the codecs it had that feature.

Mr. D. Sep 22, 2016     

don't waste your time its a scam to get you to buy a decoder that dot decode nothing

Mic. L. Feb 24, 2016     

Not sure what the negative comments are about. I downloaded the extra codecs and it works the best out of everything I have tried with my sd hd homerun prime. Please keep up the great work

Eri. S. Feb 14, 2016     

Best live TV app for my legacy HD Homerun device and Amlogic Android box. Good control via IR remote, built in hardware mpeg2 decode on Amlogic, and usually restarts decode automatically if stream glitches.

Bre. S. Nov 19, 2015     

Loved this app before the update... had purchased the codecs pack but now doesn't work and is holding a ransom of another purchase for audio decoding... don't purchase this app and accompanying codecs. Not at all happy.

Edd. S. Oct 10, 2017     

Doesn't work right. Paid $10 for sound and still buggy. Want my money but can't find a way to redeem ⚠️

Shuts down on loading

The only app that can do HD on my tablet with no breaking up

HDHR3-US is the model I have and it doesn't work with the shield TV... Sad!!

doesn't work after update

Paid for and then rename so you pay again

They start free, but want money for a low rated app. Not worth it!
