"Bug" might not have been a fair term in this case. It never really worked as intended lol.
No bugs, just Unrealized Features.

All still works great for me. Which channel are you having trouble with?
I use compatibility mode with Fox One channels.
This seems to be working well.
I do like showing the tuning process. Please leave this as an option.
Great work!
Good morning! Have you found a way around this 4 hour "still watching" prompt. 
I have not.

That's a bummer. I usually pad my recordings by 30 seconds front and back to account for tuning and overruns. So, I often have very long continuous streams on a single channel.
I was wondering if there's a way to periodically send a simple command to let the app know that we're still there. An input every three hours would do it.
Or, if there's a way to force a tuner switch to one of the other devices after each recording.
If you find one let us know. Several of us have been after an answer to this for a couple of years. Nothing has been found that works consistently...
I certainly will share if I find an answer. It will have to come from a greater mind than mine, though. If you guys haven't found an answer, there may not be one.
I have the DirecTV app also working well with the Roku Tuner Bridge. But, with this same limitation. I may have to manually schedule my recordings to alternate back and forth between my ADBTuner onn 4k boxes and my Roku streaming sticks...
This is a more insidious problem than you might think, as a number of sporting events run more than four hours (golf, cricket test matches, some football games) -- so any recordings of those get screwed-up.
Also, if you're watching live TV on the same channel for more than 4 hours and and have paused it, by the time you see the "still watching" prompt it's too late to respond to it -- and you've lost everything between where you were in your buffer and the live event.
This is among the reasons I switched to YTTV. In addition, I believe the picture to be better, the "still watching" thing can be dealt with through configuration, and the tuning is faster with a more cooperative app that can be "kept alive".
Yeah. I have been with YTTV for quite a while. It works exceptionally well with ADBT. The TVE also seems to have less authentication errors.
I decided to give DTV a try to save on monthly subscription cost. I'm getting all the channels I need for half the price. But, I have been fighting to get it working to my liking since day one. I hate to throw down on some osprey boxes, and AH4C seems complicated to set up.
I still have my YTTV account on hold, if I need to jump back. I have heard that if you actually cancel, they may offer a retention discount.
Kind of scratching my head as to why adb keycode commands can't be run to make the boxes think that you're interacting. But I'm guessing the box doesn't care, the 4-hour timer is built in no matter what? Tesseract is the only other way if key commands don't work imo. I don't have these, just throwing out ideas.
And yeah, it's an issue for sports.
You and me both. It was easy-peasy with Xfinity, but no joy with DTV.
Too much overhead I think to do it with screen captures and Tesseract. The prompt is only onscreen for a couple of minutes, so you need to catch it in that window, and send the keycode then. It's doable, but with some non-trivial overhead.
If you send a code every so often, wouldn't it think that you're there, and not send the prompt at all?
That would be the dream, and who knows maybe it's possible now? All I can tell you is that in past we tried all of the obvious stuff we could conjure. This is a pretty well-trodden path, though there have been changes to the app recently -- and I haven't messed around with it since last winter, so maybe?
I should clarify, no way to do this with DTV App. But to my knowledge, Osprey boxes don't have this time out.
Yeah. I feel that will be my eventual path to take. Still dragging my feet on making that investment in provider-specific hardware.
I'm making a "hail-Mary" effort on my Roku setup today. If I don't get anywhere, I'll be making a purchase of a couple Ospreys. It will cut down on a lot of cussing going on lately. 
Start small, buy one of them to test. I've used them for years and never really had to do anything other than leave them plugged in. They were designed to view TV channels and they do that well.
I have not been able to directly identify with all the DTV challenges others were having until I started testing the DTV App on Onn 4K Boxes. I get it now, the DTV App is picky. Very picky.
As for ADBT, I've added a third Osprey to my setup. Deep Link tuning to Osprey has been very reliable, and a bit faster than AH4C via Channels Number Input. I'm quite pleased with the results and recommend others try.
