Interesting. I still feel like DTVNow is playing bigtime catch up to PSVue (I don't use), YouTube TV and even Hulu Live TV.

I've been switching between Hulu Live TV and YouTube TV and their DVR functionality is far superior to what DTVNow was showing in beta BUT I may have to take another look.

Interesting. I know that they've been getting pressure to release it...but the DVR on the Beta app hasn't been flawless. The thing that bothers me the most is that it can cut off the ends of some shows.

No ROKU app, hope I can keep using the beta until then:

Do any of the streaming services have all of the big 4 (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC) all as live channels in the New Orleans area?

I know that YouTube TV and Hulu Live TV do not have ABC, if I recall correctly. Curious if somehow DTVNow does have it?

sorry to thread-jack, but does anyone know what would happen if I used my phone (gets its IP from Dallas) to sign up and use YoutubeTV in Lafayette, where it's not available?

I think you CAN do that but it's highly frowned upon from YouTube of course. They say if they catch you they'll perma ban your email associated to that youtube acct.

May want to wait before you update. I did one one device and it wouldn’t let me log in after. 1.5hrs on the chat with drtvn and still not resolved. After talking to 2 different people it is now “escalated” to some other BS team. Waiting on a call back who knows when. My older versions still let me log in. I did get a $60 credit for my troubles.

No trouble on Apple TV for me. What were you on that was giving you trouble?

Same here. When I upgraded the app I tried to log on and it said I don't have a subscription. I think it has something to do with them merging everyone's accounts into an ATT ID. I spent like an hour this afternoon in their support chat and supposedly they put in a ticket to get the issue fixed. They said to try it again in a few hours but it still doesn't work. I'll probably have to call them again in the morning.

I’m using a Roku now. I had an AppleTV 4 but the remote drove me crazy.

Yesterday I tried it login via Chrome and it just did some kinda loop and never got to the interface.

No issues with either Roku app, beta or regular.

Strange. On Apple TV I had to delete the app then reinstall for it to update. Maybe try that?
