I have the same problem on my iPhone. Same error. I deleted and re-installed the app and the problem persists… says it can’t find my server when I try to select a live channel to watch (HDHomeRun). The app DOES find all the channels on my HDHomeRun device, it just won’t play them. Note: the Plex …

I have the same problem iPhone and iPad. Hd home run live tv works fine. Very frustrating.

I’m having the exact same problem Very frustrating I updated for a better experience and now regret it.

Yes, when I switched to cellular I could get a program to play but with no sound. Sound was fine with a movie streamed from my server. So the issue is with LiveTV. When I switched to WiFi, the playing channel went black and a few moments later the error message appeared.

When connected to the server by cellular, I also initially didn’t get sound when streaming from HDHomeRun via my Plex Server. However, when I switched to full screen display on my iPhone, I was able to control sound. When I switched back to the small screen display, sound control worked. So, as of…

Hmm, doesn’t work for me. Initially when I select the program I get the small screen display on my iPhone and the speaker icon has an x next to it and will not toggle. I the switch to full screen but there is no audio control. Back to small screen and I can now toggle the speaker icon on and off …
