My two options for streaming will be Directvnow or PSVue. I currently have a Roku, but I hear it's not ideal for PSVue (live image disappears when viewing the channel guide). So what I want to know (before I do the trials on both) is which device is the best all round for each of these streaming services? Thanks in advance!

I have a similar question as well.

I have PS Vue and I'm currently using the Official PS Vue smart TV app on my Sony TV. The interface is slow and it's 30fps for some reason.

I know switching to a Fire TV will help getting my to 60fps but is the PS Vue interface slow on it or is it smooth?

I don't think Directv now supports Roku yet.

Im currently testing both to see which one I want to go with... Testing on an Apple TV.

At first, Direct would only spin and wouldn't play when on wifi. When I hard wired in through my Sonos, even though its still a wireless signal, it suddenly worked.

Both seem to be ok thus far. The Direct option is tempting, being you get a $150 Apple TV if you prepay 3 months in advance. So getting a Apple TV for $45 in the end. Considering doing Direct for 3 months and if not happy, rolling over to PSVue, since I get to keep the Apple TV.
