Hate to ask about such a trivial thing when all you folks are having such problems, but
My .TV while having many of the same startup problems, worked okay from the blackout at the start (after it came back, in about a minute) but the time bar on the bottom of the screen never went away. It blocked out the status box on the bottom. Couldn't find anything on cyclone TV, but I switched to the suggested feed instead of the pay-for-it site for the second half. Picture just a teeny bit worse, but time bar is gone. I'm using a Samsung phone and chromecast. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it on cyclone tv?
