Hi all, wanted to let you all know about some fixes and improvements to our Live TV and DVR feature that are coming to various platforms throughout the next month or so. We know this list doesn’t hit everything that users have been asking about related to the feature, but we think these will be a bi…

[image] cire12: Hey @chenks what country are you in? I’d be more than willing to pull your lineup and take a look. Any specific examples you could provide would be extremely helpful. I am in the UK, the same as @chenks As an example, have a look at Pick TV during the morning (I am using Free…

I had a better look tonight at live TV, the new interface is a big improvement. I’m hoping the audio stream selection issue will be resolved soon, it allows you to select it, but then seems to ignore that selection and goes back to the first stream in the list. I think it would be great if on the t…
