Ratings and reviews

Please fix the issue with the audio and video getting out of sync after playing for a bit. This tends to be HD channels like ESPN, TNT, TBS, and NFL network after playing for about 5 minutes. This has been occurring every since the last update I am constantly having the same problem. I have tried reinstalling the app but the issue is still there. Other apps that allow me to watch tv (HD Homerun) does not have this issue. Possibly needs updated to work with the latest Nvidia Shield 9.0 experience.

No where near as good as the native TV app on my Sony X900h. No shortcuts to jump to the first or last channel in the list. No way to create a favorites list. No way to search for keywords to find specific shows. When you flip through channels, the top information banner stays on the screen too long and obscures the picture. It's not transparent. It's 2020 and this guide app should be much better. I've seen cable TV guides that are much better.

Has become more stable over the years but there's still one thing egregiously wrong with it. When you use up and down to flip thru the channels, the channels ascend (in number) when you press up and descend when you press down. Great, this is how it should be. But for some odd reason when you bring up the channel guide and start flipping thru the channels, the numbers DESCEND when you press up and ASCEND when you press down. This is just lazy coding, I'm on 1.18 the newest vers too.
