Ha! You are completely correct. Thanks.

This could be a sign of CPU or memory exhaustion. Keep an eye on it and If it happens again, start a thread about the WDMyCloud Mirror Gen2 on the hardware section of the forum.
Am I supposed to receive an email confirmation that I’m now subscribed? I’m just a little nervous because I just paid on my laptop but I haven’t received an email. I want to set up the DVR on my mac and now without an email I don’t have a link back to that page easily accessible when I’m on my mac or a record of my subscription.
There is currently no email confirmation.
You can view the current status of your subscription on https://community.getchannels.com/dvr, along with the installation instructions.
Can you watch a program that’s in the process of being recorded?
Yes, of course.

External Has are very cheap nowadays. So 512gb as the minimum is actually very low.
Just a heads up that there is a typo on the macOs instruction section… “It will then install a launchd service to automatically start the DVR server on login.” I think the “launchd” word is the error.
launchd is the name of the daemon which handles launch agents on macOS

How do you skip thru commercials on a recorded program on ATV? How do you fast forward/rewind with the ATV remote? Really nice interface on the ATV by the way, very impressed.
You can click the right side of the remote twice to jump to the end of a commercial marker.
Got it! Sorry! Where is a good place to post feedback and questions about the new DVR beta? Is this the appropriate place?
Any chance someone can post a working demonstration vid on here or on YouTube and then post a link up here. It would be nice for the none US/Canada members of the forum to see what you guys have got now. Just a few mins of navigation, setting and playing recordings and the web ui would be cool.

You mention other regions to be added through the beta. What is the planned duration of the beta and when do you plan to offering other regions, specifically Australia? (UK seems to be requested a lot too!). Out of curiousity, why did you restrict this…is there some kind of technical limitation? I get guide data just fine in my channels app on tvOS, so not sure why you’re limiting the Beta to US/canada only?

It’s getting 14days worth of reliable info that proved to be an issue I think. Since SD switch providers the issue has been resolved for our short 4-5hrs guides, however not sure if it’s SD providing the full 14days worth of GD at a fee, or if Channels is getting the GD from else where for DVR customers. Looks like something’s changed as they were originally reluctant to confirm even looking at other regions until after full launch. Now they’ve confirmed it whilst still in the beta. Things are looking up. I just want to see a vid of a working demonstration.
Awesome! Can’t wait for Denmark to be added!
Until then, a YouTube video of the product would be very much appriciated 
I think that’s where a good part of the $8 monthly fee goes (and the fee for SD’s DVR product )…the guide data. I assume the delay in supporting other countries is so they can source good guide data.
Hopefully Channels can contract with the same source that SD has switched to for the UK. It’s pretty complete and accurate. I’ve noticed a few minor issues with some missing channels and logos, but I don’t know where to report it. 
Beyond the guide data, there really shouldn’t be any technical issues to offering DVR in other countries. Though I hope Channels plan in the future to support some DVB-specific features, such as EIT p/f data (also known as ‘Accurate Recording’ in the UK).

Congrats on the release. I love your TV only app and can’t wait to try this out. You recommended the PR4100 in this announcement, but the link takes me to the PR2100 on Amazon. Just wanted to double check if the PR2100 and/or PR4100 were the recommended, as I am in the market for new NAS.
