   This person went to the trouble to block visitors that come from HN (via HTTP referrer). That strikes me as odd. After looking at the article, I don't think we're missing anything.

   It's there! Right on the home page. Click around in that map. So glad you're liking the app.

   Hmmm... There are other users on iPad so this is odd. If you contact me through my site or the help page, I can help diagnose it.

   Howdy and thanks for the compliment! Apple doesn't allow real Chrome on their devices (only a skinned version of Safari) and I can only cast with real Chrome in the browser, desktop or mobile. If you have access to a Windows or Android

   I thinks that's 100% on topic. What I'm planning is an upvote system, also like HN. What do you think?

   Thanks so much! That's great to hear. The cleanup feature you want exists and is called Scan and Remove. More deets here: https://tvexplorer.live/help/25-things-18

   Thank you! That's a great idea. It's already possible in limited way with the controls in the video player, but a dedicated button would be easier to find.

   It's on the list! Roku requires a special workaround because I can't run a full web app on that box, but I have a solution in the works and I'm glad you want it, too!

   Indeed. I would love to support Apple but they don't let people develop for their platform with Windows computers.

    Thank you, and that's a good idea that I can definitely implement.

    Thank you! This is great input. Just to clarify, the app does nothing to the channels, neither adding or removing them. They come from a public GitHub repo, linked from the help page. So any sponsored versus commercial versus nonprofit chan

    On a Mac, you can adjust your browser width to get the look you want. Play around I and see if you get the "split point" where channels go on the right side, and reach out to me if it still needs work. It should be great on any de

    TV Explorer shows whatever the original channel broadcasts. Many include commericals, and I love that part!

    I do that in hotels, too! I'd definitely like to talk about Watson and I'm interested in folks who might like to build with it. Let's connect through my LinkedIn or email, both on my portfolio site at https://david

    Hey, you! I know where you got that Mongolian channel because I like it, too! Thank you so much. This is the kind of feedback I live for. To make something people love.

    Thank you for this input. Designing for small screens has been a challenge. You can use the settings (gear icon) to remove the rows you don't use, which frees up more space for channels. I like your idea, though. What's another wa

    You are most welcome and thank you for letting me know you like it! I have seen the buffer and repeat issue with some channels. It's hard to know why it's happening. The app works by giving the stream URL from the broadcaster to a

    As a dev, I love hearing this. Thank you so much!

    Thank you so much! You are right that captions aren't addressed well. I can look at them more. It's something I like, too, especially for language learning.

    Great idea! We can't guarantee the pick will load but it could have a "roll again" option, lol.

    I built this app for myself after being disappointed with the options for viewing IPTV online. Thousands of global channels broadcast their streams but there's no great way to find, filter, save, and share them. Since it was launched d

    This is both fascinating and ridiculous. Folks are upset that an LLM didn't suggest "turning to God" in a moment of need. Exactly which god would that be? Should it pick at random? Geolocate you by IP? Or maybe suggest one th

    I had no idea this closed and I've lived here for six years! I can't believe I didn't go visit. Surely there is enough money in this city of Houston between airlines that operate here and the oil companies that they spend mos
