Picture is hazy and clearly not playing in 60fps as channels with tickers at the bottom are jittery.

I did some digging on reddit, and a lot of people are noticing the same thing. Some are saying Directv Now did it purposefully to help curb some of the larger issues like random error messages and glitching

So instead of adding some promised features, they're taking away basic functionality.

I'm growing tired of this...

The channel selection, at least for me, still blows all other options out of the park. I'm willing to deal with it.

It seems ok to me tonight at roughly 9pm CST. It's a little blurry for like the first 3-5 seconds when I change channels and then it's back to normal. I tried on my AppleTV (4th gen) and the Amazon Fire TV.

Go to ESPN or Fox news and look at the bottom ticker, what's it look like?

Yep, it looks like shite for me as well. If this continues, I will drop it when my 3 months is up. Always fricking something with ATT.

ETA: ESPN looks bad with the ticker being very jerky. ESPN2 however, looks great with no issues on the ticker. Anybody else notice this?

Some of my Channels aren't to clear for first couple seconds then they clear up. I did switch to espn Nd see what you mean about the ticker. It's very pixelated as is scrolls. I've never noticed this before today.

I'm glad the constant errors have stopped. I feel like it's improving.

Mine is working on my iPad and iPhone. I've airplayed it to my Apple TV. Some reason just the Apple TV isn't working.

This has been the first real problem I've had since day one. I think I'm in the minority tho

I find myself quickly exiting to the guide when it freezes, change to the next channel, then back to original channel. Most times this does the trick.

For $35/month, I'll give them a lil time to work out the kinks. I still have my kodi.
