I think I have narrowed my issue with guide data. This is the guide from my ONN pro streamer, running the channels DVR app , version 2.80. one station only has about 8 hours of data. Also, scrolling the guide data is erractic , and at times the guide data is out of sync with the time line.
My other two streamers, a fire stick and a ONN 4K, are running channels DVR app version 2.71 and work fine
I side loaded the channels DVR version 2.71 from the ONN 4K and installed it on the "problem" ONN Pro streamer. It now works fine! The problem was with the 2.80 version of the app
I had the ONN pro set to automatically update apps, which is why my older ONN streamer was running the older version of the software
Update 02/24/25
Channel for Android TV. came out with Version 2.9 on 02/19/25. I've run it for the last few days and it seems to have fixed the issues I had with the 2.8 version of the app
Apparently, the new Google Steamer was having the same issues as the ONN boxes
Thanks channels team!
