Known Limits

1. Some live-streaming apps, like Netflix, do not work with AirReceiver.

Some live streaming apps, such as Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, HBO Go, and most sports/TV apps, either use their custom protocol or prevents connections that are not originating from an iOS device. Some of the service providers behind these apps also prevent an Apple TV to consume content over AirPlay. We are looking into ways of implementing support for this in future versions of AirReceiver, but in the meantime, you should be able to stream content over mirroring in some cases.
