First, the Channels app is fantastic and I can’t wait to see what you guys have cooked up for the DVR. Channels is one of the apps I always show people when walking them through our TV setup and I never fail to get people struggling to believe I’m getting such a great picture from an antenna.
That being said, I just want to add my voice to those here asking the creators to please reconsider your pricing strategy. I’m struggling to understand why the ongoing cost is necessary if EPG info is already available in the Channels app I’m using today without a subscription. Are there other ongoing costs that have to be supported besides the EPG that require an ongoing cost?
Please don’t get me wrong, I will gladly pay again to support this dev team for your efforts on the DVR software. However, if I’m supplying all of the hardware for the Channels DVR setup and already getting EPG data in the Channels app without a subscription fee, I’m struggling to understand why $96/year is needed vs. a one time purchase for the DVR companion app.
Thank you again for all of your great work on this app!
