Tell the FCC that we do NOT want our local TV encrypted so that we have choice in how we can watch it.

Channels v5.6.0 for iOS went out last week as well. Along with the tvOS changes, it adds these:
• Downloading now works over cellular.
• Optionally use lower qualities when downloading to save space. This will transcode on the fly as it downloads.
These are off by default.

Original Quality Delivery allows you to force HLS even while at home on Original Quality.
This lets you use HLS for unstable Wi-Fi networks and is a great trick to enable longer buffers for devices without enough storage.

This first party Twitter app is so horrible to use, it’s unclear why anyone is even still on Twitter. It’s very clear why their numbers have always been so low.
This is pretty much it for me on Twitter. Experience matters to me, and the one in this app is horrible.
