Good intentions

I like what this app has to offer as far as local channels. I did the 7 day free trial to watch the super bowl and decided to hang on to it for the Olympics. Super Bowl worked out well.

The Olympics have presented a few major problems. For one, the app freezes up once I’ve picked out a channel to watch. It will allow me to watch what I choose but will not allow either of my remotes to work (Apple remote and iPhone remote app). Mainly the swipe function on the remotes becomes inoperable leaving me to watch one channel. That’s if the channel doesn’t decide to all of a sudden freeze up at which point I have to reset my Apple TV and start all over again with the exact same problems. Second issue occurred last night when trying to watch the women’s snowboarding slope style at the Olympics. The app told me that was the event being televised. For 4 hours I worked my way all around and through the app trying to get the snowboarding to come on. No luck, all I was able to see was a totally different broadcast of the Olympics. There was one time after I had restarted my Apple TV so that I could get into YouTube tv and have my remote work before freezing up that I selected the snowboarding broadcast. It went to a freeze frame of the desired snowboarding event for a brief second, only to skip back over to women’s ice skating. Frustrating to say the least!
