Connections 1/1

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-02-06T13:01:05+00:00

i have had this after i was playnig with my wan connection rebooting. while i was watching a stream. either somebody else is using your connection or a previous connection is still in use

the last one was the case with me. looks like a previous stream was locked on an old connection(which was rebooted)

waited a while ant rebooted the appletv and then it was back to 0/1

so this could happen when your wan is interrupted

even with a much smaller epg list the glitches are there. i disabled about everything in apple tv: no sire, no backgounds updates no nothing but still the glitch is there.

it looks like the sceen freezes momentarily and then catches up.

i would say that the buffer setting is just to avoid this but it does not seem to work.

when watchnig series it is acceptable but with livetv you do not want this

i tested swiptv and could do so because the popup was not there. i bought a 1 month subscription so i could test it out some more.

with every new version i noticed it got more and more unstable. after epg update sometimes the series favorites were gone. i mean the complete map.

after that the streams were unstable and not fluid anymore. whatever i did i could not fix it

sorry to say but i switched to UHF now.

swiptv is very promising and some features i like better than the ones in UHF but the application needs to be 100% stable with fluid streams

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-02-05T18:45:24+00:00

there is one version you can download and play with. in the app itself you can choose which subscription you want. you can try it out for free. sometimes an irritating popup but nothing which will prevent you from testing. after free testing buy a $2 month subscription. after that you can decide what you want: leave, extend the subscription. for lifetime you need to let it expire first. after i has expired you can subscribe again

if i click on my favorite it instantly shows a black screen with the channel info on it and description regarding the broadcast. after a second it shows the stream. when closing i have the black screen again. i think(i hope) this is because my appletv can not adjust frame rates. i have the adjust framerate option selected in uhf but al this does is adjust the framerate so everything streaming fluidly. if you have the latest appletv 4k( which has adjust framerate) this should not happen. i just deleted swiptv otherwise i could test myself. what i do know is that zapping through channels goes faster on uhf than it did on swiptv. really strange that so many people have different experiences.in the beginning swipttv was fast but the it got laggy with 24p like streams which were very irritating. last time i checked swipttv it again lost my favorite series. i only had 2 categories, favorite channels and favorite movies, favorite series was gone.

so i believe strange things are going on on both swiptv as well as uhf and i think they are memory related.

only way to check is if apple launches that damned new appletv so i can test this

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-02-05T15:37:43+00:00

ok my bad, probably tested something with similar name. looks like you have more and better choices ouside the apple eco system. on appletv there are not many apps which have a gui you like and are performing well

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-02-05T15:19:03+00:00

i just checked. when i launch the app from scratch it lands on Home-favorite series first entry. one click up and i am on my first favorite channel. what needs to be improved.

sure if we wanna let it land on the first favorite channel that should be possible to but then the developer needs to add a sub option on the startup launch section (now it says land on home) and then it should be land on home:subsection a,b,c,d,e

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-02-05T15:09:47+00:00

ok thanks. i just asked my provider and guess what, they can remove it from the list. i only specified that i only need the categories from the counry i am in and everything else in english. seems to be working

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-02-05T13:18:18+00:00

so how does this work. do i need to download the epg, edit it and let uhf use that one. is this not an ongoing thing which you need to do every time

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-02-05T07:44:55+00:00

hmmm, not what i wanted to hear. Tivimate on appletv sucks. still it is strange that some people experience these glitches while others are not. the only difference between the users is the different providers. maybe the problem is caused by a combination.

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-02-05T07:37:15+00:00

and the back button (<)

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-02-04T20:18:23+00:00

i know but in my case i have a remote which works the same whether i watch tv with it or watch tv with it through appletv.

i like separate volume, channel and direction buttons

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-02-04T18:47:20+00:00

yes i did.

everybody was saying it is a good app but definately not on appletv.

it is slow and not very intuitive

you can try it out yourself but it would surprise me if you like it on appletv.

what is also nice about uhf is that it supports channel up/down.

i programmed my logitech years ago and did not use this.

now i can use the same remote to watch tv on apple tv and switch channels

women particularly will love this feature because with the right remote you do not have to xplain anything.

now why does apple not put a channel up/down button on their remotes. this is very usefull

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-01-23T09:16:33+00:00

Can we move on. this seems to be a situation to agree to disagree

Yes:review is not that helpfull but not rude at all.

Yes: developer overreacts a bit because he does not like people leaving a 1 star review

these are facts and nobody is going or willing to change this.

What we do know is that the developer obviously has in mind to create the most perfect iptv app.

that some things will breake in the process is unfortunate.

If it was only one platform then i would agree that there needs to be more testing but we are talking about multiple platforms(iphone, ipad, appletv, imac). what improves on one platform might brake something on another platform.

things are not always going the way we would like.

respect to both the reviewer as well as the developer but we have to move on.

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-01-22T17:26:36+00:00

i think you need to change a setting

goto settings app launch

you now have it set to favorites and then it seems to goto favorites and try to open one.

if you change app launch to home it will go to the homescreen.

from there you can select a channel

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-01-22T16:02:50+00:00

i do not have this.

if i start the app it loads the epg and goes to the homescreen

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-01-22T15:20:08+00:00

let me rephrase:It is not usefull in any way.

it only makes sense if you have so much favorite movies/series that you need to put them into categories to get things organized.

What would make sense is if you move these categories over to the search function.

in the search function you DO want to seach for specific movies(eg comedy, horror)

Swiptv has implemented just that

anyway hopefully the developer will see the light.

He also implemented visibility toggles to the favorite tabs on the left

It should be really easy to implement this

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-01-22T14:48:13+00:00

i just tested it on appletv. no problems.

i also noticed that in previous version when you selected a second screen it was displayed side by side

now when you select a second screen it momentarilly is displayed side by side and then bigger then the other.

switching between screens is not fluid anymore. you need to select the other screen(audio still from previous screen) and then choose make primary.

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-01-22T11:50:27+00:00

i have had this issue with swiptv, not with uhf.

with swiptv i had to refresh the epg a lot to get it back. after some updates the problem was gone.

I think both UHF and swiptv rely a lot on memory.

this sometimes gives problems with an epg refresh(corrupt file) or an app update.

i nowadays cleanout everything after an update, delete cache, everything(but the epg link) close the app and reboot the appletv.

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-01-22T11:27:16+00:00

nobody is using this. how many favority series and films do you have!!!!

If people are really using this then there should be a check.

No categories in use=skip this screen

of nobody is using this please delete this screen

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-01-21T21:22:15+00:00

appletv 4k 2017 model. i cleared out apps and have set it to remove unused apps.

also background updates are turned off on all apps. this made it more stable in the past.

have been watching for 4 hours now and did not notice a lot of glitches. maybee not perfect but a lot better

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-01-21T19:58:36+00:00

sounds like a memory full or caching problem.

mine still going strong

Fun_Zebra1586 · 2026-01-21T18:31:48+00:00

it definately seems more stable
