> Make sure you get the Extend and not the Connect. Apple tv devices don't have MPEG2 decoders and the Extend will convert the OTA MPEG2 streams to MPEG4.

While its true that the Apple TV does not have a hardware MPEG2 decoder, it can software decode the MPEG2 in cpu perfectly fine. This is how Channels works.

Channels supports the Extend and it's different transcoded profiles, but it supports the raw MPEG2 that comes from the Extend and every other HDHomeRun that exists.

So, if you want the full uncompressed raw signal, Channels will play it just fine.
