Hello,
I am hoping that Android TV users who use the "LIVE CHANNELS" apps and HD HomeRun can share helpful tips.
I recently started using Shield TV and first tried HDHomeRun Connect with it. I am using LiveChannels app and making it use the source of 'Network TV Tuner (Beta)' exposed by HDHomeRun box. Everything works perfectly, including DVR.
I then decided to ditch cable boxes and use the same setup with HDHR Prime. Unfortunately, Live Channels does NOT see the 'Network TV Tuner' source from Prime. It does see "HDHomeRun Input" source if I install the HDHR app, but of course I don't want to use it as it's only good for LiveTV not for timeshifting or DVR capabilities, which are only available if i use the 'Network TV Tuner' source.
I thought maybe an update or misconfiguration is causing an issues, so after many factory resets and no success, I tried HDHR Connect, and even a HDHR Extend box, and voila, Network tV Tuner DOES show up when I use those boxes.
So it seems that the LiveChannels app and Shield TV haven't lost that functionality in the current version that I am running. The issue only occurs if I use 'PRIME' box instead of Connect or Extend. This also means that router or network configuration is not a problem.
With all those variables removed, I'd really appreciate if any of you have any troubleshooting tips.
Thanks in advance.
Futt.
I'm not sure if this is related or not but there's a bug in a recent update for the live channels app: https://www.reddit.com/r/androidtv/comments/6zredn/_/
