User Reviews

This is a wonderful program! With this app and a smart TV, I can now instantly watch MythTV without having to wait to boot up a power hungry PC. The UI takes a bit of getting used to compared to the PC UI, but it is fairly straightforward. It is very responsive while navigating the various options. Playback is flawless on both OTA recordings and local videos. My only complaint would be setting up recordings. The phone/tablet versions set the "default" settings true for the recording group, playback group, etc. It would be nice if this did the same thing to make it easier to record a program with the default settings.
