BHTV app and iOS7

for the past few days I've noticed viewing on my iPad has been EXTREMELY unpleasant. Very laggy. Programs keep stopping and/or stuttering. Some stations won't load (get the channel load error). This is not limited to the wee hours of the morning, so this isn't an "overnight maintenance" issue. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the app already.

I didn't post in the other thread because this isn't related to DVR functions.

Deb sorry....but welcome to my world....it's iOS7 not the App. Since updating to iOS7 my Apple device extistence has turned from minor annoyance to living hell....I hate it and if there was a reasonable method to roll back I would have done it by now...alas Apple ruined any hope of that on the 20th when stopped signing firmware below 7.

A good reboot of the device will give you some short term help but it may not last....

FWIW, I have been viewing TV on my iPad Mini which has been updated to iOS 7 and up to now, I haven't seen any lag or hesitation. Mind you, I have the BHN 90/10 service but the stream is not that demanding. As a matter of fact, I am now watching hockey on NHL LIVE and it's just fine. Perhaps I will start seeing problems after a while but up to now, it's been OK.

Now with regards to the iOS 7 update itself, I don't like it but as it's typical for Apple, you can't easily revert to an older version and you are limited in customization. That's why I like my Nexus 7 2102... too bad BHTV is not available for this tablet (using Netflix & Hulu+)

I'm on the 30mb plan, and I'm usually watching when I'm sitting here next to the computer (next to the router). The only reason I mentioned it is because I watch some shows using a CBS app (my soaps) and it's fine, but gets hinky when viewing BHTV. I would just watch on my computer, but it doesn't like any of my browsers on a Linux box

I have 3 ipads and 1 iphone. Since updating to IOS7, I can not log in. I keep getting "Login failed" on my 3 ipads. However I do succeed using the iphone (at IOS7) and the PC. I the network appears to be fine. I have lighting service (60mb) and browse the web with out problem.

The 3 ipads worked fine under ios6.

Let me add that I have tried deleting the app, powered off, on, reinstall the app. I tried connecting on neighbors wireless.

No problems at all on my iPad 2 or iPad 3 using iOS 7. Bhtv app working flawlessly. Would be nice if we could use airplay or hdmi connector to tv with the app.
