I was lucky to have channels DVR and an OTA tuner this Christmas. Live in Nashville right off downtown and we lost phones and internet mid morning on Christmas. Luckily I had saved all the Christmas movies we would watch so along with getting the locals and the recorded shows we didn’t skip a beat. It does bring me to my question though, Any plans to cache the movie covers in Channels in the future? That was the only thing that failed with not having internet. Just had to highlight each to see which movie was which.

Great to hear!
Improved caching is part of the latest TestFlight builds.

Awesome, thanks!
Looks like users of other media systems did not fare as well after the Nashville outage. Really glad to see that our work in this area saved the day for you!

I hate to hear it for the others but I couldn’t have been happier. Didn't matter whether we watched from an Apple TV or iOS or iPadOS or a MacBook M1 running the channels app. We only had the small issue with the covers that’s already being addressed. Worked exactly like I hoped when I first purchased. Thanks!
