I have both right now..the only reason I'm keeping Vue for now is because of red zone and CBS..after football season I'm keeping DTVNow because it has more channels and its cheaper..only major differences I see so far is Vue has DVR and a better on demand selection

I've used both services and I prefer DirecTV Now. The $35 introductory offer is fantastic.

Not sure if it's still offered, but DTVnow was giving a free Appletv if you signed or for 3 months

How much longer are they doing the $35 intro rate? It's supposed to grandfather those intro members in once the rates go up, correct?

Directv Now sounds like the way to go. What consoles/products can you stream it from?

I have it on Apple TV, iPhone, FireTV, and Fire Stick.

Not sure on what others are supported.

Please keep in mind DTV Now is like a month old. And they are still working out a lot of kinks related to capacity. But I prefer it over Vue which I had since Vue went nation wide.

I prefer the PS Vue package. I like having my locals, plus DVR, plus can use on up to five devices. With kids, a media room, a tv on the patio, a tv in my bedroom and one in the garage, this works for me. Most everything I want to watch away from home I have an app for it.

DIRECTV Now limits you to 2 streams at a time.

Is it assumed that it will be expanded to more than 2 at some point?

Is assume as people jump on board DTVNOW they will upgrade features to be comparable to other services. They have already said they will be expanding the on-demand selections and a DVR is coming early 2017.

If you're starting now you might as well get DIRECTV Now for the free Apple TV. If you're not a fan then switch to PS Vue.

I went with DTV Now b/c of the introductory rate...it has everything I want regarding sports. It's not on Roku yet, which was a bummer, but is planned for it in first quarter 2017. I do wish (and assume I will be able to at some point) that I could log in to Fox Sports Go with it, but I can't right now. I can watch football games on Sunday via Fox Sports Go when I'm in the bedroom since there is no antenna on that TV. Can't get locals via DTV Now yet, so that is a bummer...but not a huge issue.
