@tmm1 This is not overly intuitive and the chance my family will remember to do all that to get back to the video playing, and more importantly, cleanly exiting Channels when powering off the TV, is highly unlikely. In fact, I dare say it won't happen. So really this feature is not an option for me as it stands and it seems that others feel the same way.
Can you guys implement a better solution? While I understand that this is probably a very easy way to get PIP working in the Android app, it does come with problems. Of note is how the PIP window obscures portions of the configuration window. Does not look like you guys are doing much more than popping up the window. This is my biggest gripe with Channels interface.
I've used SOOO many different other DVRs in the past since I first installed Snapstream in 1998. Channels is by far the best, but lacks PIP in the guide which every single software DVR I've tested has provided. I'm guessing this comes down to a time resource issue with working with the GUI, but being a commercial product with a recurring subscription cost, the expectation is that common features like this would and should make it into the app that many user use daily. I know you guys have a voting system for features but that doesn't seem to matter. The clock request for the EPG is by far the most requested feature but it still has not appeared. Why not? Why does the GUI take a back seat to other features like virtual channels which, I'm guessing, would have a much more niche audience?
Overall I'm very pleased with Channels, but these common, expected features are lacking or nonexistent when it comes to the clock. Will we see any work done on these items in the near future?
