Apps with Support for Live Channels

by LookMomNoHands1

Foe those of you who are tired of switching between apps to watch live TV, I've been trying recently to compile a list of compatible Live Channels apps for AndroidTV users, here is what I have so far:

HDHomeRun (Must have Tuner with antenna or cablecard connected. Comes with free DVR if you enable the Network Tuner (BETA) channels source in the Android Live Channels app. Just as a heads-up, for proper channels guide and listing, do the channels scan through the HDHomeRun Windows program.)

Pluto TV

Red Bull TV

Haystack TV

LocalBTV (Only in Phoenix, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco)

The Weather Network (Only in Canada)

NOT WORKING:

Philo (There was a brief implementation of this at one point, but it is not currently enabled as far I can see. Perhaps the developers will bring it back.)

Sling TV Shows up as a Live Channels source, but states that "This Feature is not yet available."

IPTV apps:

Cumulus TV - For use with individual M3U files

TVIrl - Same as above, but has implementation for auto-refresh of EPG files

FreeviewIPTV - Currently on the Play Store, developer scrubs live streams on official websites and puts them into one app.

PVR Live

HD HomeRun devices are also compatible with Live Channels, with or without the HD HomeRun app installed.

I watch live OTA through my antenna into my HD Homerun into Plex on the shield...and it records whatever shows I want and automatically deletes commercials from the PVR files too!

My favorite part of your list is how Google owned Youtube TV isn't even on the list.

To my understanding, The Weather Network's live stream is geoblocked outside of Canada.

My live channels has stopped working with my HD Homerun. I can use the HD homerun app without any problems, but every time I try to use live channels it errors out.

Philo TV has live channels support and its the only paid cable replacement service to do so unfortunately.

There's probably a lot of local apps around the world that support Live Channels but are only relevant in their countries of origin. My paid TV provider has an Android TV app that supports Live Channels but only works in Argentina and Uruguay...

Compatible USB tuners also work in Live Channels on Nvidia Shield TV. We use a Haupauge tuner and added storage, so we can record local channels directly to the Shield through Live Channels....for free.

Op, do you have Philo working with Live Channels? If so, how?
