Customize channel list setting up Google's live tv app with Tuner

by nextapp

Google's live TV App.... I need help setting up Sources.

Nvidia shield TV 2017

I recently purchased a Hdhomerun Quattro ... MODEL HDHR5-4US

What is the best app to tune live TV into live channels app. Set up your sources.

Hdhomerun App... Free minis DVR ...

Insta TV input paid is it worth the $9.99?

Google's built-in Network TV tuner Beta ... Free

I've used both the built in network tuners source and HDHomeRun app and have had pretty good luck with both. If you run a surround sound setup you may want to experiment with both sources and monitor what format is being sent. Mine's been hit or miss on my Nexus Player and Sony Bravia when it comes to getting an appropriate bitstream going. For whatever reason on my Bravia it is sending a 2 channel PCM downmix when using the Network Tuners option (despite it requiring you to turn on the surround sound option to work).

Network tuners will support the built in DVR and timeshift function of Live Channels. Doesn't look like the HDHR app has enabled that yet (outside of their own DVR service). You could also look into running a Plex server for DVR functionality. It is pretty solid on that front.

Customizing channel lists is also there in the Live Channels app regardless of tuner and 'Just Works(tm)'. You should see that on the same menu as the Setup Sources option.
