I don't know if I did something or if there was an app update? My primary interest in Channels DVR is combining OTA with "premium" channels. Right now I'm using Sling's TV Everywhere because I've currently got a subscription but probably going with Philo when this is live on the household TVs...
Anyway, as my Mom will also be using this, I wanted to set her up with a remote that was either same as the one she was using or dead simple. So I got a Flirc as well. I had things mostly working a few days ago. Using the Channel up/down button on the remote worked. I had mapped Page Up/Page Down to the channel up/down buttons. However I couldn't get the volume to work so bought a simple learning remote control which arrived today. I was able to teach it the regular TV remotes volume functions but I discovered that channel surfing was no longer working with Page Up/Page Down. It's not that it doesn't respond, it pops up with a brief message that it can't find the HD Homerun and then drops back to the guide. I thought at first it might be a Flirc problem but discovered that Tivo's own channel buttons are no longer working in the app as well. Same result when changing channels. Funny thing is the same thing happens when changing between Sling TV Everywhere channels. It shows the same complaint about not finding the HD HomeRun?? That seems odd.
I decided to try plugging in the Firestick with Flirc connected. And channel surfing works there? No changes made to the Flirc. Just moved it between the two devices and channel switching works in the Channels DVR app there.
What I'm not sure of is where the problem lies? I'm guessing some app updated but I'm not sure if it's Channels? HD Homerun? Tivo Stream's Android OS? When I set this up I guess I could put Mom on the Firestick but I'm concerned it's an update that just hasn't gotten to that version of the app yet.
I'd appreciate any direction on how to resolve this.
Thanks!
