Remote streaming at the top? Wow. That was the only one I unchecked. Guess I need to get out more :joy:

In all seriousness, I took my first real vacation since pre-covid recently and it crossed my mind to set it up but decided I need less TV / tech on my vacation not more.

Are we just going to ignore the new avatar?

Virtual Channels + Personal Media is the greatest combo ever.

In all seriousness: kudos to the channels team for doing a poll on this. I see so many companies, big and small, make the mistake of thinking they know their customers better than they do. Sometimes there is more conversation around certain cutting edge/new features and less around the thing that you love about a product and that just works.

(Don’t accuse me of that though, I’m here for the weird stuff that breaks things :joy:)

So as a developer that started this poll, what exactly do you plan to do with this data?

I can't vote because my selection doesn't appear
[ ] None of the above
Unless Remote Streaming includes Tailscale.
Although I experiment and play with some occasionally.

I am surprised Commercial Detection and Custom Channels didn't make the poll.

For me mainly TVE. I'd like to see focused improvements w/ ASTC 3.0 tuning times and working to make AC4 multichannel audio work in Channels.

Would have voted for PlayOn Cloud if I could. Did vote for Personal Media. Aside from that it's all HDHRs here.

How well the channels app works is my top reason for using it on Apple TV, iOS, and MacOs. Is do wish their was a Samsung App on Tizen but understand why not.

  • Commercial Skip is my #1 feature. Would like it to work on TV Everywhere as well for live cable TV broadcasts.

  • TV Enverywhere with Sling TV s my #2 feature. I like seeing the guide and being able to watch in on place in channels app.

Didn’t even know about Siri Shortcuts or Virtual Channels, need to try them.
