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.

I don't know where all of these negative reviews are coming from. I am just using it as an alternative to the native HDHomerun app and as far as I'm concerned it's fine. It's more intuitive than the HDHomerun app and more responsive. With the HDHomerun app sometimes I have to tap my remote several times before it responds but that is not a problem with the live channels app. My only fault with it is it lists Pluto TV as a source but when you try to use Pluto TV there is nothing there. Hence four stars instead of five. But I wanted it mainly for my local channels via HDHomerun anyway. Also, I found at least in my case that it works better if I also have the HDHomerun app installed on my box even though I'm not using it. I am using this app on a Mibox 4.

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.
