User Reviews for Channels for HDHomeRun!

Fantastic!

Compared to the native HDHOMERUN app this is miles ahead. Having a choice between the show thumbnails and a traditional grid guide is awesome. Though DRM channels apparently have problems it’s not that big a deal to me as I can access those channels using their own app. Connecting to my really old HDPrime has been flawless and the picture quality is perfect. Being able to browse the channel guide and change the channel via the iPad app is just icing on the cake!

Haven’t been able to use this for month now

(Update: my firmware was more than 10 years old, and their support was able to instruct me on how to upgrade it. I was able to scan for, and find channels. Some came in as “SD” even though they’re all HD, but I made them all favorites and just use the favorites section now.)I’ve been trying to use Channels for months now, with no success. I have a HD HomeRun Dual connected to my WiFi router and can watch shows using a program on my Mac laptop throughout the house. Channels could never find my HDHomeRun, and now the app doesn’t even load. I open it and only get a blank screen. I deleted the app and reinstalled it and got a splash screen of new features, but when I closed that I got the same blank screen. I’d love to watch live TV on my phone thought the house, but haven’t for a long while.

Channels misnamed but can’t choose a channel

Love the way you can bypass commercials. However, why this app is named Channels is beyond me. You don’t have the option to surf channel numbers thru the guide to select only one series on that channel alone. Instead, it selects every channel a series airs even though it’s duplicating the show on HD as well as lower channels. Then, there’s other channels that airs repeat episodes, like USA, for example and labels them as first run because it is running for the first time on their channel, but they’re repeat episodes. If I could delete all programs on that channel that are being recorded that would be an option, or choose to record a series only on that channel is another option.

Works fantastically

Works great on IOS 11 on iPad Pro 9.7. I use it when I’m out of my home via OpenVPN back to my home network. I’m amazed on how well it works when away from home. My home internet is 75Mbps down and 10Mbps up. I use low deinterlace when off network and it still gives me good quality. Guide works well too. Just great. Better than InstaTV in my opinion.

Glad I found this.

So I have had HDHomerun for a few years now and recently the ipad version stopped working, I would get sound and no video. I tried contacting them several times and haven’t heard back from them. For what ever reason I did a search and this program came up. I downloaded it and instantly it worked. It’s laid out better than the HDHomerun software and so far hasn’t had any issues. I am now back to my cable cutting ways. Take that direct tv!

Ditch the cable box!

Love using this app with an HDHomerun Prime, so I don’t have a million boxes under my TV. I just have an Apple TV, and it’s awesome. The app is easy to navigate and add favorites! It’s been problem free for me. An upgrade that would allow me to ask Siri to change to MSNBC, Altitude, etc. would be nice, but that gives me something to look forward to! Buy it! :)

Make it easier

I had some problems with the settings it will not let me get to the live TV so I need you to make that easier for me it won’t let me go anywhere else and then that keeps on saying front load speaker left and it’s getting kind annoying so I would like you to help me and make it easier for me because it’s very hard and it might be hard for other people I know I gave you five stars but they might give you four or three or something else but all I’m saying is just make it easier so everyone else can enjoy it thank you

closed caption can be confusing

I bought the iOS and Apple TV versions and it works great but I am disappointed in the closed captioning. Initially I thought it was supported when muted only. My wife being deaf needs CC and I being hearing enjoy the audio. I finally figured out swipe down and then right to switch sap or CC. It would be nice to make this a more prominent feature or add an always on setting. Or simply follow the defaults on the device itself.

so nice to cut the cord and dump the dish

so nice to dump the dish and cut the cord. I wish there was a way to store the recordings in the cloud, rather than on my PC. Sometimes the PC has to update and we booth, when it does the channels application does not automatically turn on. it is very usable with voiceover, the screen reader in Reader for apple products.

Incredible app!

With two HD Home Runs and Channels I’m getting more than ever out of my Verizon subscription. I have the equivalent of four set top boxes plus access on all of our phones and iPads for a fraction of the cost of what it would be through Verizon. The lack of DRM support is worth noting, but it only effects Fox Channels and the Big Ten Network for me and there are dedicated apps that can supply those as well. No hesitations and no going back for me.
