Just yesterday DIRECTV NOW sent out an email to subscribers with an updated bill that included a line for “True Cloud DVR.” AT&T later in the day sent a follow-up email apologizing for the mistake and letting subscribers know the DIRECTV NOW DVR is still in beta not ready for the public.

storage space isn't free...hopefully it's only like $2 or something, but I bet it'll be 5 or 10. Once the price point comes out, then the pitchforks can come out.

I hate AT&T as much as the next guy (ok, I hate them more than almost every other guy), but they pretty much have to charge for DVR. Although the storage required is pretty negligible (if a million people record a show, they don't have to save a million copies, they just need 1 plus backups), I'm pretty sure content owners charge more if their content can be recorded/timeshifted.

Lmao @ thinking it's "free"

I'm guessing it'll be tiered and you'll at least get a little bit included.
Either way I've been fine without it from the beginning.

Frick DirecTV and DIrecTV Now. YouTube TV works great and no extra charge for unlimited DVR.

I’ve had DtvNow for almost 6 months and havnt missed not having a DVR, so much stuff is on demand anyways and you also have the option to watch some stuff within 3 days.
I really can’t complain. I have att cell service with then unlimited plan so I get DtvNow’s basic plan which includes ESPN, AMC, TNT, etc for $10/month and HBO for “free”, its comes with having the unlimited data plan. So yeah I can’t conplain at all to get 60 channels & hbo fir $10/mo
Dvr would be great but it won’t make me angry to live without one.

I've had it since it came out. Got grandfathered in on the biggest package for $35/month. Like you, I just switched to their unlimited plan, so I know only pay $10 for 120 channels plus HBO. I'd take the DVR if they offered it, but I haven't missed it at all. I'd rather have locals.
