In short
PBS Video is a free iesta app for Android created by PBS. And this is a perfect way to get pbs content.
Highlights
Works well as app on a Sony Android TV
Very nice to be able to watch PBS shows
I love the ability to get PBS content on demand
IEsta application tiene programmes muy excelente
It plays well with my EZ Cast dongle
Happy to finally be able to cast PBS
This app allows me to watch quality PBS programming for free
Local station integration is great
Finally having Chromecast support is great
Glad they made the app work for Android TV
Title bar flashes randomly and the timeline status is incorrect
And tracking timeline not accurately showing current point in video
Can't connect to PBS servers half of the time
Force closes and strange Chromecast behavior
The playback controls are done if the worst of I've seen in an app
And therefore can not load any Passport content
Screen flickers with status bar when casting
The title bar flickers constantly
Awful casting issues via the app
Keeps saying unfortunately this app has quit working
