Congrats on the launch - I’ve been looking forward to this for a while but unfortunately more and more stations are going DRM on Optimum in NJ/NY so I can’t record many stations. I have to keep one cable box and Optimum’s DVR service to bridge this issue…will flip the second DRM channels are available but until then I cannot move over 100%. Having two solutions and paying for both simply doesn’t make sense. How is your progress with DRM? While I applaud your ongoing feature development and expansion into new areas I fear that you’re overlooking the one thing that will crush your business model for all but total cord cutters.
hey hey go UK…Please

So I’m absolutely loving the the dvr system you’ve set up. Much better then SD’s implementation. On the web base version I was wondering about something. Is there any way I can sign in while out of the home at https://community.getchannels.com/dvr and not only see my local address but also my “current remote access address” as well? If not, is this something you could add? I don’t (probably many of us don’t) have a static ip so my remote access address will not always be the same. It would be nice to be able to login to https://community.getchannels.com/dvr and have a current link to get to my dvr when I’m not home.

Anyone tried using a Raspberry Pi 3 and hard drive? I believe the Raspberry Pi should meet minimum requirements.
When could i use it in my country, Spain? Thanks!
There’s no information on International support yet.

Well …darn. I bought a My Book 12 TB RAID, installed Plex (on PC), got a RW Bluray, got an ATV4, got an HDHomerun Prime, had cable card installed, bought the Channels app, and it works great …only to dig deeper and find out the DVR beta currently isn’t available for Windows. Checking into the VM option, but will need to upgrade to WIN 10 Pro (at a minimum), and not sure my PC supports Hyper-V just yet. Bleh… Contemplating shipping back my My Book and sucking up the extra money to get a Synology or My Cloud RAID.
Punted briefly and tried out the Plex DVR, but it’s not the integration I was looking for.
Curious, any more targeted date for availability of the DVR capability native to Windows Home Edition?
You can use VirtualBox for free on any windows machine to run the VM.
No ETA on native windows support at this time.

Do you really need a full 14 days guide data for scheduled/key word recording though? IceTV has local guide data in Australia, whatever source channels is using though seems good. Hopefully they enable it shortly!
Sounds amazing, but am I reading this right that I’m out of luck with the older HDHomeRun Dual? Is it because of DLNA support? Guess it’s time to start saving up.
Outstanding. I’m going to sign up to give it a try tonight.
What happened on the Apple TV store yesterday 3-4-2017. Channels has been removed and it will not work on AppleTV any longer.
Is there any announcement list that one can sign up to for specific announcement of Channels DVR and international availability?
I live in Canada and my wife and I love the Channels app. To be able and expand to DVR capability has been something that I was very hopeful of and am now excited to read about (only found out because of the Apple issue with installing the latest update to Channels).
go to this thread - read through it – request a beta – works!
The DVR is already available in Canada
