HomerunTV - HD Homerun Live TV on Fire TV

Just wanted to share my experience today I bought this app since I own HD Homerun while having it on Kodi with PVR was nice it required a server computer to be running while watching.
Just wanted to let all guys know that the app costs 2.99$ (it's not mine of course I wish I was that skilled) everything works amazingly with fire REMOTE there is only one small issue in order to hit PLAY you must use mouse, I emailed dev asking him about this so it might be fixed soon!
How it works? it uses MX player or VLC media player to play the live channel ( my ISP is Verizon fios ) and channels stream usually around 18 mbps on lan in HD.
My Setup is:
Ethernet Cable
Homerun TV
VLC Media player (newest extracted from playstore) sometimes screen gets black it might be VLC issue (did not try with MX Player)
I'd say it's worth 2.99$ quality over VLC media player is great as well!
Update Feb 06 2015
Small Tips:
In order to play channel you must USE mouse to point it to "play button"
Set VLC media player to "Full hardware accelaration"

Stream live TV from your HDHomeRun device to your phone or tablet. (Unprotected, copy freely channels only)
This application will allow you to stream live TV to your android phone or tablet. It can be streamed to your device in 1 of 2 ways.
1. Directly from the hdhomerun to your device. This requires a strong network connection to your device (wireless N recommended) and a powerful enough device to decode 1080i video.
2. Through the HdhomerunStreamServer. This uses VLC to transcode the video to a lower bandwidth.

you're telling me you can stream HD smoothly with this app? It's been a couple months since I tried it when it first was released for the Fire TV, and any HD channel caused severe stuttering. I'm on a wired GBe LAN as well. That'd be great if an update to the app fixed this.
UPDATE: Nevermind, I was referring to the app released by Silicon Dust themselves.

Yea the silicondust app is very laggy.
This one streams without a SINGLE lag because it uses MX Player or VLC.
Make sure to sideload VLC media player.
I asked the dev about placing the play button somwhere else. We'll see what happens.
Streams perfectly.

If you don't mind me asking, what setup were you using with Kodi (e.g. server OS, server software, HDHomeRun configuration, etc.). I've got the HDHomeRun Plus / Extend and have not had a lot of luck settings things up.
I tried using TVHeadEnd on an Ubuntu server and Kodi running the TVHeadEnd plug-in. It streams fine only some of the time, but I get frequent crashes, especially when changing channels. In addition, I could not get any PVR functionality to work, nor have I been able to get h.264 transcoding from the HDHomeRun to work.
I then tried using MythTV, but could not get the Kodi MythTV plugin to work -- it would show the stations, but not be able to connect to the streams. (I also had trouble getting the MythTV server configured with the HDHomeRun, but that's not really related to the Fire TV.)
Thanks.

I don't use any PVR's I simply use Homerun TV and watch it via the app (I added shortcut in Kodi) so it's faster to open it.

I have a HDHomerun plus, adding the dlna server source of the HDHomerun to the files under videos is by far the best quality live streams I have gotten.
Regarding PVR with the Hdhomerun plus, I tried the same things. I finally said forget it and got a simple TV for $100 on woot with lifetime sub. It actually works much better than the reviews led me to believe. I access the recordings through plex.

I saw it being offered free not to long ago (lifetime sub)

I'm missing something. I have it installed, but how do I play a stream? When I click on the channel it takes me to a stream diagnostics screen (signal strength, etc.) How do I play it? Thanks!

Here is the trick... you must use "mouse" to point it to play button.
I emailed the DEV and asking him if he can somehow in future make it "play-able" via REMOTE.
Every other part of the app works fine with remote.

I found out a few days ago that you can adjust the quality stream in the actual HDhomerun view app. When the app is open just keep on pressing the menu button rapidly until the settings comes up then you can select the stream quality.
Also I had a Amazon gift card to burn so I actually bought InstaTV Pro. It comes up as a free app but it is by no means a free app. It cost $10 (which bites) because it has to download codecs. However it works very well.

What are your favorite working apps?

Can you categorize the applist with fire tv remote and external mouse needed to control?
that will be very helpful.

I agree. That would be most helpful. I rather not have to use a mouse for most my apps and if someone already knows they could post so we don't all have to test..

Do you have links to Bollywood channel and Indian recipes apps?

..

I am not sure how I can go about downloading the apks you have listed to install these with adbfire on my unrooted firestick ( Sky Sports for Android) but they do look like a good list

I suggest the global use of an extra abbreviation for FireTV Stick to end the confusion.
Also,make a seperate list since some apps don't work on the stick. (I heard retroarch had more issues)
Abbreviation: AFTV-Stick
Its better than confusion.
Also,YouTube is a PITA now because of the broken services 7.3.29 issue.
The 4.4.11 (v5b) YouTube MOD works without even needing root access since it also doesn't need Google Play Services.

Google Play Sevices is not broken, 7.3.29 is not built to work on the Fire TV. 7.0.99 is actualy the same version as 7.3.29 with a different version number and is meant to work with the Fire TV hardware. 7.3.29 is the latest version that works on certain hardware and 7.0.99 is also the latest version for other devicess. Not all devices use the same verion of an app. Thats why if you go to the actuall playstore every app will say "latest version - varies from devicess", cause depending on your hardware the version number will be different. Also, I am using the lastest version of Youtube with 7.0.99 and it works great. The only problem is that when ram gets too low videos won't play, but the solution is to either force close Youtube or run fast reboot. After that videos will start playing again, at least that is what works for me. I have Dock4droid installed with a fast reboot shortcut so when Youtube acts up I just close it, do a fast reboot and all is well.

Top Live TV Streaming Apps

Figured I would make a thread so people could tell others what apps they are using for Live TV streaming. My favorites are "World Sports Streams" "Mobdro" and "Live Stream Player". Mobdro basically has all the Filmon streams, plus a few other streams, but the good thing is that all of the UK streams are not geo blocked like they are on most other Filmon streaming apps. World Sports Streams is great for good quality sport streams and it gets updated frequently. Live Stream Player does not list the streams, but instead lets you search for streams. If you wanna watch a channel just search for it and all of the stream that have that name will popup. Feel free to post your favorite apps for live TV streaming. Please do not include XBMC/Kodi, cable or satalite apps, or official channel apps like HBO, cause people already know about those apps. This is just for Live TV streaming apps that people may not know about.

Do you mean "Mediahhh"? Mediahhh is a great app for the UK channels from Filmom, but it never has all the UK channels, but the best feature is that it has a guide for each channel so that you know whats on now and whats coming on. Do not to list apps that have geoblocked content, cause most of your apps can only be watched with UK IPs. Also, only list apps that have free content that do not require a subscription.

Hey Guys,
Eliot here CTO at Mediahhh, I just wanted to come and say that I'm glad to see you talking about Mediahhh, just to let you know were adding more content as soon as we can, as well as loads of cool new features, Chromecast Support for instance is only just around the corner now, and we hope to have that released very soon. And support for even more platforms than the current Windows, OSX and Android.
Anyway if you have any feedback about the app let us know as we're always looking to make it the best it can be.
Best
Eliot

Thanks for noticing. I really like your app. I know I ranked Mobdro ahead of your app, but its not because I do not like your app, its because the Mobdro app has all the Filmon UK channels and your app doesn't. Thats the only reason, but your app is better in every other way. Your app probably has the best UI of any noncommercial live streaming app that I have found. I love how I can watch and still navigate through the app at the same time. Plus the guide is a great feature that not many noncommercial apps have. I also like that all your links work. Its not just a bunch of useless links like a lot of other apps. I only use Filmon for the UK channels. You said you are gonna add more channels, are they going to be more Filmon channels or from a different source? Is it only going to be more UK channels or from other countries too? Maybe you could add Sky Sports and the WWE Network.

Mobdro crypto mines now. Avoid like the plague.

I used Mobdro, this is a great application to watch online. It is compatible with my phone when I use it with the upgraded Mobdro Plus version.At MobdroPlus.com you can install the free Mobdro application to your device. This is the leading supplier for the whole world.

No such thing as Mobdro Plus.
There was a Mobdro Premium but they did away with that for Freemium that is ad revenue based.

A lot of the apps listed are UK Based and require a VPN. Also World Wide Sports looks like it hasn't been updated in 5 years. Anyone else got suggestions ? Even very good Kodi plugins would be appreciated.

[Q] UKTV Now App

Has anyone managed to get this app to work on their Fire TV: http://livetvapp.tv/ ?
The authors say other users have managed to get it working on Fire TV by sideloading MXPlayer but I can't seem to click on the links within the app for the video feeds.

I think it only works with the free version of MX Player, cause I tried it a while back and it won't work with the pro version of MX Player. The pro and free versions of apps usually have different named APK files which is what the app looks for to launch MX Player, and it is only programmed to look for the name of the free version of MX Player, which is not smart for the developer(s) that made this app, cause not everyone uses the free version. I am pretty sure you need an account now to watch the media on the latest version of the app, which is a deal breaker for me. If they are brave enough to steal content that does not belong to them and give it away for free, they are not getting my email to do god knows what with. Also, the apps is just the same links you will find inside several Kodi addons, and the Sparkys Streams addon for Kodi is exactly the same as the UKTV Now app, cause they are getting all their links and thumbs from the same exact place. So I can either use Sparkys Streams or this app that requires I make an account and use the free version of MX Player, I'll choose Sparkys Streams addon over this bogus app. If you wanna use the UKTV Now app, just install Sparkys Streams, cause its better anyway.

Thanks - it looks like Sparks Streams is down at the moment. I just get script errors whenever I try to open the channel list. Are you getting the same?

Sparky stream is no more.

Its still around it just needs updated. He manages a lot of addons in his repo so a lot of his addons do no get updated all the time. He has at least 30 addons in his repo so its understandable that things do not get updated quickly. Every since I have been using repos way back in the day with XBMC, addons have been hit or miss with how frequently they get updated. I have used addons that get fixed the same day they mess up, and I have used addons that will be broke for several months then outta the blue they will get updated. a good example is the "Watch Wrestling" addon, it has been broke for a couple weeks and the dev Mikey1234 has been posting responses on the support forum for the aaddon saying it will be a while before he gets it updated. Kodi devs do have lives and also other things related to Kodi that may not give them the time to update addon on a regular basis. I have confidence that Sparkys Streams will get fixed when MetalKettle gets around to fixing it.

Watching Live TV

Hi All.
the purpose of this thread is to combine all the information we have about watching Live TV on our devices.
I'm purposely avoiding Kodi addons, they seem to come and go due to their questionable legality, and it's a hassle to keep up, there are already multiple webpages discussing them.
here goes nothing.
Proper Live TV
1) Android TV Live channels
it's in my opinion the best way to watch TV on Android TV devices, the necessary framework, but does not seem to be popular at this stage
2) NHK World app.
NHK world is a fantastic app to watch NHK World TV, recently made Android TV compatible, it does not yet integrate to Live Channels, I have sent NHK an email requesting for this, but have not heard back.
If you support this, please send them an email, the more the merrier.
3) Cumulus TV.
This app allows you to manually enter HLS streams into Live channels, it's got great potential (if you have some HLS streams) but it does not work properly at this stage. developer is working on fixing it.
If you have any HLS streams or m3u8 links, please contribute.. if this takes off make we can share json files.
4) Mediahhh
App for UK Live TV channels, works great, not available in the play store, does not integrate with Live channels unfortunately. emailed them but no response.
Semi Live TV
1) Pluto TV.
Great app, makes channels from youtube sources, and integrates to Live channels. try it!
2) Haystack TV
Has a few Live USA channels, doesn't integrate with Live channels.
3) Class6ix news
Has news channels tailored to your location, I believe it works in US, UK and AUS
thats about it from me..
anyone?

Just wanted to point out that the current version of CumulusTV from the play store (1.4.10) as you mentioned doesn't work.
It has been fixed for a week now with the release of version 1.5.1
Two options to get the latest release is either sign up for beta's on the play store by just visiting this link:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.felkertech.n.cumulustv
OR, get the latest compiled APK direct from github and sidelaod it
https://github.com/Fleker/CumulusTV/releases

There are a bunch of apk's floating around here's a link to some http://justnewtech.com/android-apk/
The best way to watch live tv for me is through kodi. There are a bunch of free addons-Castaway,DNA TV etc. They are pretty stable. If you want something that's really stable try DEXTER TV in kodi. The pro version cost about 5 bucks a month and has 390 live channels in HD.

Hi there.
thanks, most of these are for on demand watching.
what I'm looking for is live TV.
some are "live TV" basically just point to an HLS stream from somewhere on the internet, but the selection of streams is very poor.
ccloud is one of these addons that is supposed to be the best atm, but it has gone downhill to the point of being unusable.

Mobdro ( has ads)and Husham ( no ads) live tv apk are live tv apps. Hushams app has 600 channels.
Most people know that kodi addons go up and down however Dexter is the most stable. 5 bucks a month for 390 channels ( most in HD) is cheap. The "donation" is for the equipment to keep the channels going. Other IPTV services charge alot more. I don't know of any other live TV apps that are free!!! apert from the first two apps I mentioned, but they only stream in SD. I'm not affiliated with Dexter but so far that's the most stable source I've found. BTW there are way better addons than cCloud.
Cheers.

Do they integrate with the Google Live Channels app? After testing some of the ones listed in the earlier directory I can say most of the ones I tried not only did not integrate, they did not work half of the time or required the use of a touchpad or airmouse simply to navigate around. Disappointing.

Yeah, I agree with you, very dissapointing.
Although, we can sort of expect this of some dodgy app, but for mainstream apps, this should not happen. It's not that difficult to change the app for proper Android TV controls, and Live channels. they probably can't be bothered due to the low user base.

You should bring that up in the FB group or email them. Are you using DEXTER PRO? The regular Dexter(non pro) will be down for a awhile. Like any other addon there is sometimes a server overload however the Dexter team is good at getting it( pro version) up an running quickly. Clean your cache in kodi that may help.
LWS, UK turks, Channel Pear, Ares streams, Khaoz live tv and Navi X have live TV channels. Not every channel works but you can save the ones that do to your favorites.

Dang that sucks. I remember i had some issues in the beginning.I think i had to register through their webpage (not the FB) then it worked after that.
Anyway there is a custom kodi build called the Gears of War and Gears of War TV. It has live tv channels that are exclusive to the build. it's free this offers some good stuff. The build is being released later tonight. Oh it gets updated at least once a week sometimes twice so the channels are pretty stable.

for live channels
seems it will only sync with haystack and pluto
anymore that yall know of that will work with Live Channels?

There's a few apps for the HDHomeRun devices. I forget the names since I quit using them when I sold my old HDHomeRun. The cool part with the HDHomeRun is that it would let you watch any cable channel (You could also use an antenna) you have including DRM ones playback in Live Channels. There's also PuppetMaster.TV which has news from around the world and some live streams from the International Space Station. The Weather Network which gives you nationwide weather reports but shows your local weather on screen overlaid on top of it. Bloomberg and Haystack TV both support Live Channels now as well.

Also has anyone had any luck with configuring Cumulus TV? I can't get it to work with any IPTV streams.
