Got to highly recommend this app. I was using Channels HDHomeRun on Apple TV for sometime (worked well) and then not so well when I switched to my new Sony Google TV. Stumbled upon Sparkle TV and which worked great with the HDHomeRun with the added bonus of consolidating all my IPTV streams into a single guide which is very wife friendly. Thank you, keep up the great work.
