Thanks! I had to scroll way down the list but it was listed there on their site.

I had some issues watching Vikings. Every time it went to commercial, I got a message saying this program isn't available in my area.

There were times when I couldn't stream at all. But other than the NC/Indiana game, everything streamed great when I could stream

UI is smooth. I really enjoy the Apple TV. The remote controls my TV volume, which kicks arse.

Picture quality was really solid on the AFTV when it worked. Lack of DVR very concerning.

If you have a Fire TV with Kodi I don't really see the need for DVR. It was good in theory but I never used Vue's DVR.

But the good news is between sling and Vue and directvnow we have options to change at any time without contracts. The more competition there is, the better off we all will be.


bad news is there is still data caps, unless you are locked into this service with AT&T when this won't count against it. This is closing the free market.

How is the on demand selection on DTVnow? I'm interested but the wife watches majority of her shows on DVR instead of live tv.

My pos is still having error issues so I finally called att since direct tv couldn't help and att gave me a credit for what I paid applied to my cell phone bill, they're letting me keep the service till march what I prepaid for, and I can keep the Apple TV whenever it's shipped to me.

I just noticed the same thing on the Disney Jr app.....trying to download the Nick Jr app now to check. This MAY be what I've been looking for to significantly reduce my expenditures on cable.



ETA: Doesn't appear that DirecTV Now is listed as a provider in the Nick Jr app at this time.

Sounds hit or miss at some stores from looking at the responses on this thread.

It sounds like that's what most of these guys did. There's an AT&T store at the bottom of my building....wondering if they have the Apple TVs on hand as well.


Does anyone think that they may up the # of streams possible in the near future? Two is a bit shabby. 4 would be perfect for me.

If it's a ATT corporate store and they have them in stock yes you can get the Apple TV without waiting.
