The local stations access is good, as you mentioned, for games. Having UK channels as well is kinda nice. Was baked last night and watching gogglebox.
Definitely a delay between this and live in an app. Watching a game and ran to do something, so put on the bally app, and this is about 30 seconds behind, maybe 45. Just the nature of it, so no big deal. I'll see how big the difference is next weekend to get a better idea. Not that it's a big deal, but might make game threads a bit different.
Service quality has been good so far. The 4k stuff is fine, and the hd stuff is fine as well. Apple TV is spitting out 4k dolby, so no diff than YTTV on that front. Haven't had any buffering issues, and the UHF app is letting me use the up/down arrows as channel up/down, so that's nice.
Definitely glad to have dumped the IP Smarters app for UHF. Much better UI, in both operation and layout. If the smarters app was the only option, I'd have probably called it off. It's not good. It works, yes, but is annoying to use. UHF has a watermark, in-app purchase to remove. Annoying, but if it all works out then I'll give em a few bucks to make it go away and grab some additional features. I'm ok with that. For now I pitched em a buck for a month in case it ends up not being an option, or I don't continue service.
Setting up the guide is a bit of an endeavor, but part of the approval factor. You can sort by name, but that kind of sucks with a shit-ton of channels. Would be nice to be able to make your own categories for your guide to be able to better control the list, but whatever. If I hammer away at it over the next few days, doing a few at a time, it'll get there. Once the initial batch is done, I can work on the few remaining I want to put on the main guide.
