Title: Apple TV gets an app for over-the-air channels (with the right hardware) Post by: HCK on December 05, 2015, 09:00:16 pm Apple TV gets an app for over-the-air channels (with the right hardware)
<article> <section class="page"> <p>Users of the new Apple TV can now watch live over-the-air channels directly through the set-top box, provided they’re willing to spend another $100 or more on additional hardware.</p><p>A new third-party Apple TV app called Channels (http://getchannels.com/) ($15) lets users watch live TV through a SiliconDust HDHomeRun networked tuner. HDHomeRun receives video from any broadcast antenna, and then connects to a Wi-Fi router. Through companion apps, users can then stream those channels on various devices around the house.</p><p>Officially, HDHomeRun only offers apps for Android, PC, Mac, Linux, Android TV devices, and Amazon Fire TV. But SiliconDust also allows third-party developers to create their own apps for those platforms and others. Channels is the first to support Apple TV.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3011950/streaming-hardware/apple-tv-gets-an-app-for-over-the-air-channels-with-the-right-hardware.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Apple TV gets an app for over-the-air channels (with the right hardware) (http://www.macworld.com/article/3011950/streaming-hardware/apple-tv-gets-an-app-for-over-the-air-channels-with-the-right-hardware.html#tk.rss_all) |
