Do people read the entire description? ... Do people see what they want to see?

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nextpvr/...03723?mt=8

I suspect that the line "With this app your be able to watch Live TV, view the TV Guide, manage your recording schedule, and watch recordings" may catch the eye and lead to complaints.

May I respectfully suggest a possible draft of an updated description ...

Quote:You need NextPVR software on your Windows PC to use this app to watch Live TV, view the TV Guide, manage your recording schedule, and watch recordings.

NextPVR is free media center software you can install on a Windows PC. NextPVR on Windows enables you to watch and record TV from ATSC / DVB / Analog TV tuners, and other supported video capture devices. NextPVR can be downloaded from http://www.nextpvr.com

Requirements:
- NextPVR 3.7.7 or higher running on a PC on your local network.
- TV Tuner or video capture device supported by NextPVR attached to your Windows PC. NextPVR supports most DVB-T / DVB-C / DVB-S / ATSC / QAM digital tv tuners.

A possiible alternate first line might be ...

Quote:With NextPVR software on your Windows PC, this app allows you to tch Live TV, view the TV Guide, manage your recording schedule, and watch recordings.

But this altenate might be read to imply that NextPVR on the PC is optional.

Apologies if I am stepping on any toes. PS. There are some typos in the existing description that could be tidied.

Don't worry - not stepping on toes.

I hear you and agree. I was absolutely thinking about this and trying to make crystal clear that NextPVR was required. I went out of my way to repeat over and over that NextPVR is required...The bold sentences below were my attempts to make it clear to the user that NextPVR is required....ie, basically every sentence bar one.

The version currently going through the app store carries this description, tweaks things a little future.
