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

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!

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 this app apparently have problems it’s not that big a deal to me as I can access those this app 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!
