Best streaming service??
Posted on 2/12/17 at 8:20 am

I have 150gb internet through Mediacom, a new Netgear Orbi wifi system and 3 Amazon Fire TVs...
I chose PlayStation Vue and loved it, but it started constantly buffering. After calls to support with no resolution, I cancelled and am trying DTV Now... navigation suck, but no buffering...
I'm all about ESPNs, SECN, History, Discovery, Travel, Food Network, etc...
Anybody have the same problems I do?

I have my fire TV plugged directly into the router and have no problems with Vue. I had previously been using wifi and did experience some buffering.

I really prefer Directv Now over any other streaming service.
I may be biased, though, as I've never used anything other than Directv Now.

Navigation is much worse on DTV Now compared to PV... but something about my configuration makes it unusable

Restore your device. I had that experience with one of the four Fire devices I have. Performed the restore, and after everything was set back up, it worked great since then.

It "performed" fine. There wasn't a problem with speed, but it's not the same interface you get on PS4/FireTV/PC and it was bad enough that I upgraded to FireTV. The main problem is that you have to leave the show you are watching and navigate up a level to access the interface. On a FireTV you just hit the menu button and your show keeps playing in the background while the different options come up. The Roku also didn't have the traditional guide. Although I honestly don't use it that much, sometimes it is more useful than navigating show tiles to find what you want.

Wow, this is surprising. From what I have read on this board I had concluded that Roku had the best interface/navigation system.

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed. Not only was it a few months late to get PS Vue, the app was half assed when it came. I used to recommend Roku but the developer support looks like it may be starting to slip and I've been very pleased with the FireTV.
