After YEARS of fighting with my CableCARD tuner on the PC, I installed @getchannels and it (1) auto discovered my tuner and (2) worked 100%.
— Ed Swindelles (@edswindelles) January 15, 2016HDHomeRun + @getchannels = Cord Cutter Bliss!
— Ryan (@TechnicallyWell) January 11, 2016@getchannels your Apple TV 4 app is the little known app & one of the best features on #thenewappletv
— Mike (@ThatGamerMike) November 14, 2015I have spent countless hours trying to get a live TV over the air with old my @HDHomeRun_US duel ever since Windows Media Center disappeared. Finally an easy solution with @getchannels on Apple TV. It took maybe 10 minutes to get everything all set up, best $25 i have spent.

@getchannels I watched the #Redskins crush the Saints with Channels + #HDHomeRun yesterday. Outperformed Kodi on my Mac mini.
— Bill Chin (@tech01010x) November 16, 2015@getchannels Thanks so much. AMAZING APP! This has been a dream for YEARS!
— Aaron Smith (@mixotic1) November 21, 2015Just found HDHomeRun hardware (@HDHomeRun_US) & the Channels TV app (@getchannels). The most elegant live TV solution for this cord cutter.
