I've used Channels for years but just recently purchased a NAS capable of Remote DVR streaming (Synology 218+).
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. When I leave the house and open the Channels app, it shows no tuners detected. I click 'Connect to Channels DVR', click 'Authorize', and then my tuners (and recordings appear) and I can view live/recorded content.
I expected to have to do this the first time. However, I seem to have to do this every time I leave my local network. Granted I've only tried this a couple of times, so maybe I'm missing something. I just assumed that the Channels app would somehow 'detect' that you were no longer on your home network (based on the IP range perhaps? Or just an absence of local tuners?) and would connect to the remote DVR. Is this not the case?
Thanks
