Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Enhance Your Television Experience with the AirTV 2 by AirTV-LLC by Billy Ivy

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Excellent fast setup and performance. Minor support issues. Looking forward to a small change

I tested a number of devices that transmit OTA signals and it was the easiest setup and the most efficient experience. The longest part of the setup was connecting the cables and the hardest part was finding the slingTV app on my phone. My family can't tell the difference between OTA and OTI (Internet) streams, which was the goal. **Updated after weeks of use** This device never stops streaming like some other OTA streamers we tested. It's now our favorite program for everyone who watches OTA TV. After hundreds of hours of use, we're still happy with the performance and integration. One issue I hope they fix with software updates: The SlingTV app doesn't allow multiple devices to stream from the same tuner like Tablo does. Although both are just two tuners, Tablo allows you to connect an unlimited number of devices to the tuners. So if 2 TVs want to watch the same OTA channel live, they will be connected to the same tuner. AIRTV doesn't do this and you can only use 2 devices at a time to watch OTA content, even if you're watching the same channel. Support update: AirTV has a multi-day bug preventing data transfer and channel classification (ABC/CBS/ETC) in the SlingTV app. It doesn't matter on its own, but when I called to ask if the problem was with my devices or AirTV, I was bounced back and forth between the DISH support queues and ended up in a group that couldn't help. After a few calls I was able to get in touch with a good support team who informed me of the outage. I wish it didn't take so much effort to find out this information, AirTV should have a service status page to keep people informed of these events, and SlingTV should have better call routing. I'm deducting a star because of these support issues.
