First off let me say thank you for creating this app, it’s completely out classing the competition in terms of stability and features. Now on to the part where I moan. The pricing model for DVR seems really high to me I understand that you need money to do your jobs and I would love to support the continued development of channels but I feel like I’m getting ripped off, why……
Your pricing model seems like it is aimed at the US market where from what I understand most people are paying what are by European standards crazy amounts or money for TV services. Before using channels I was using Freeview, a service in the UK that provides free over the air TV. I used this along side a youview box which is a one off purchase that then provides DVR and a guide for free. My monthly costs were £0 per month.
Channels DVR is £5.82 per month to put that in context my mobile phone bill is £9 a month, my mobile phone network has billions of pounds worth of infrastructure delivering internet and phone calls, I use it every day. Channels DVR I’m using three time a week for an hour max.
At the current DVR price I’m with channels until something better comes along, till Plex or Silicon Dust catch up on Apple TV. Which for me is a shame as I would love to support a smaller team like channels which has a real focus on providing the best TV experience. I would only ask if you could consider adding a yearly subscription at a reduced rate something like £40 - £45 a year to make channels DVR a bit more palatable to the European markets, at the moment seeing £6 a month come out of my bank account for something I used to get for free is painful. Thanks again for creating channels.
