Pretty slick app. 👍👍 Easy to set up & use. I'm using it on a Tivo 4k Stream & Nvidia Shield Pro 2017. Overall it's very good & seems to be stable. Only issue I'm experiencing is that my epg doesn't seem to update on its own. I have to clear the cache within the app & hit done. It'll update my playlist & the epg.

Works Well with Sony Kd-950h only thing while watching live iptv and when I press up this won't give me option to red record button. I got only play/pause rewind left right. But I can record through PVR LIVE menu. (Purchased the plus version) Recordings also very clear. Please developer if you could answer that?

This is the best app I have used, but I have one issue: when my iptv list updates, I have to add new channels manually. I have bought plus version yesterday because it is so good.

BUG REPORT - Enigma2: I liked the app very much, specialy screen with recordings / timers I have seen somewhere so I bought PLUS full version instead of Dream player. ---------------------------------------But it has these realy big bugs :(-------------------------1) when you change program to another result is in 30% of cases NO video stream + "The video is unexpectedly unavailable" Popup ----- Dream player doesn't have this problem with Zap before stream --- all settings switches were tried - no result.(Helps go one program back and then forward, sometimes one more back and forward - and then it works) ------------------------------------------2) stream is often stoped with no sound and buffering with circle - I have 5Ghz + 2,4 Ghz Wi-Fi 1,2 Gbit total - no this stream problems on DP ------------------------- 3) Multiple language BUG +30DB BOOST- EXTREMELY annoying - Czech TV (CT) has multiple language programs - Czech lang + original one. On Enigma setop box I have every time in Czech same it is in Dream player. But here It's always original, French, turkish -> You can switch to these options a) QAA stereo b) Czech Stereo c) Czech Mono d) Czech Sterero -----------------BUT The first czech stereo (option b)) is 30 DB boosted!!!!!! You can't lower the sound with remote - its constantly boosted (I measured it -> from 50db - > 80db) -------------- When you choose d) Czech stereo (no bosted one) - all is ok same as on Enigma or Dream player. But when you switch to another program and back its back on 30 db bossted one!!! You can't use it this way! :((---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It could be se nice app in comparison with the second one I mentioned. So great UI / UX for recordings (I hope recordings + timeshift would be saved on my Enigma usb disc) But these 3 things made it totally useless :(((Wasted money for Google TV and Enigma owners till this won't be fixed. These bugs are so big I had to turn it off :(((

Pretty useless. I cannot record anything from live tv, Amazon, Tubi, Pluto, or Sumo. It installs on my tv but does basically nothing else. Luckily I didn’t waste my money buying any upgrade subscription.

Didn't do what I wanted to. Couldn't add inbuilt ota tuner as a source even though live channels app sees it as a source, and it is set up (Vodafone tv - Australia android tv box). DVR options were greyed out without source set up. Wish PVR live plus had a trial. Even a 24-hour trial would have allowed me to know this app wasn't for me. Otherwise, would have been happy to pay.
