About this app

Placeshift your Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 Media Center channels* in various possible qualities, without subscription costs.

That means for example that - if you receive your local station (e.g. sports event) at home on your Media Center - you can stream this live show to your android! Not confined by home or country!

Here's how to:
1. Setup your Remote Potato Server - it's a free download here: http://myfrem.nl/download.html . This is absolutely required to run this app.
2. Test the connection out for free: make sure it works with the free Remote Media Center (RMC) app, downloadable from google play.
3. If you are satisfied with step 2: Get Remote Media Center Live TV - and try with SD channels at home in this app!

Also has the ability to download videos/recorded tv and live tv. And (beta:) transcoding on the server for later playback.

Notes:
* This version of RMC is ad free!
* RMC streams media which can consume lots of bandwidth especially WHEN using high quality settings - be sure you have a good data plan before you start using 3G and 4G connections to stream your video.
* Number of TV channels you can watch simultanuously is limited by the number of androids, free tuners and processing power you have!
* For best Live TV results, you need a fast android and fast PC server.
* DRM-protected content is not supported.
* See myfrem.nl/forum of http://159.253.0.177/forum for discussion and FAQ.
* On google TV you can use ES File manager as a player.
* Do not use while driving or other activities that might become dangerous.
* Be aware that live TV makes use of (temporary) recordings that show up in "Recorded TV'.

I have Remote Potato version 2.333.65 and RMC live version 3.864 per your instructions for Chromecast to work and I purchased the Chromecast add on from you and I don't see a Chromecast icon on any screen anywhere in the Android app.

Used to work fine, but hasn't worked for months now. Developers usually are very responsive, but lately have not been responding to help requests. 1: Live TV streams for about a 20 second and then quits. 2: Unreliable connection. Sitting on couch, "Server timed out" error... 20 min later (after making no changes) logs in instantly. Okay for a free app but too many problems. If you want something simple and reliable, then ante up and go with Plex for recorded media and Tablo for live tv streaming.
