- 💰 Revenue: Modest — $809 - $5061/mo · INDIE tier · medium confidence, trajectory unclear.
- ⭐ Quality: 2.21★ across 34 reviews — weak — significant quality concerns.
- 📍 Market: Not yet charting in any of the 9 monitored markets.
- 📈 Growth: ⚠ last update 2174d ago — possibly dormant.
- ⚠️ Risk: High — scam/fraud mentions detected, bug mentions above category norm, rating drift -0.91 ★ (recent 50 vs lifetime).
🎯 For competitors: Vulnerable. Quality drift + slow updates create a clear opening for a fresh competitor with active dev cadence.
💵 For acquirers: Estimated asking range 12-22× monthly = $24K-$44K. Portfolio play ($30K/mo combined) commands premium. Discount applied for operational risk..

★★★★★ Works with H24-700 and a few others
We use this app to control 16 DVRs in a sports bar. It can be a little slow at times to refresh all the DVRs on the Home Screen, and sometimes have to restart a DVR to refresh the IP to the remote app but for the cost this has been an incre…

I downloaded the Lite version of this app and it worked. Unfortunately, it only allows control of one DTv box at a time.
I downloaded this app to control multiple DTv boxes, and this app does not scan the network successfully.

This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
