See:
Up here in the great white north (Canada) I have them showing on my shield, but we can’t subscribe yet, so unavailable on Apple TV.
I am getting a buy now option on the site where it said coming soon yesterday. http://my.hdhomerun.com/
Doh! 
I’m signed up and they are showing on my iPad and Apple TV but no guide data until they update the DVR.
Yeah, for DVR subscribers, there will be no guide data until we can update Channels DVR to have some network mapping.
For those that only use Channels for live TV and hence, use SD’s data, there were will be guide data.

Don’t know if I was supposed to do this but I changed mine from OTA to the Spectrum Cable and mapped the channels in the guide. Seems to work perfect. I even did some recordings. 
Heh, yep. Great work @tshele! With manual channel mapping you can totally get it to work. We’re just hoping to make it easier for everyone going forward 
Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but with the new premium service are you able to record the premium channels and, if so, are they “clear” files in the DVR as well?
Also, any eta on when there will be guide data in the DVR for premium channels?
Thanks as always!
Awesome. I will let you know if I run into any trouble.
I have Xfinity for my internet and the package I have gives me around 20 channels. So your are able to watch Verizon FiOS channels with your HDHR Extend? Did you have to do any activate with Verizon to get that to work or was it just plug and play?
Yup, did the same and it works well (minus it thinking that It’s Always Sunny In Philaphelia is going to be coming on CSPAN on 5 Sep but I’m betting on @tmm1 and @maddox to get the DVR situated by then.
I really hope they work on the bandwidth/quality of the channels, they’re really blocky.
edit: hopefully it’ll get better… at least Nick over at the SD forums said that was high on his priority list.
Yep. Saw that too. Willing to give them some time. Should improve. Pretty cool so far.
Yes, plug and play. However, I’m using a Connect (not Extend). I typed the wrong thing earlier. I rent nothing from Verizon, no router/modem, Cable Box, or CableCARD. It depends if the channels you get are unencrypted or not. The easy way to find out is to run a cable directly from the wall into a TV with a Clear-QAM tuner (most HDTVs have them), then run a channel scan on the TV. The channels your TV picks up will be the same you will get with an HDHR Connect. It may be the same with an Extend, but I can’t confirm that. I don’t think you need the Extend though when using cable. It’s main purpose is to transcode OTA signals to a lower bandwidth.
Yes, and soon.
What are everyone’s thoughts on price? I really like the idea of HDHR Premium. Especially because it will work with the Channels app. It is currently $35 for 45 channels. But Direct TV Now is offering 65+ channels for $40. Granted, you get more concurrent streams with HDHR Premium. But I feel like the price should be a little more competitive OR they should offer more channels. Thoughts?
The main selling point for me is the DVR option. I get to keep my recordings and they won’t turn into a streamed version with permanent commercials and there is no limit to the amount I can record.

I am completely fine with the price if it’s good quality and reliable. I like the idea of having my own physical DVR. Some of the streaming services replace your “recordings” with on demand versions, or prevent you from skipping commercials which is frustrating. I have been most satisfied with PS Vue, but may switch to HDHRP just to have one beautiful Channels interface for everything.

I will have to try plugging my cable directly into my TV. Thank you for your help johnmarkdyer!
