A down side on DTVNow vs Sling is that DTVNow only supports 2 concurrent streams, while with sling you can have 3 with basic subscription (orange) and 4 if you upgrade to the blue tier. A great perk I found out about DTVNow is that I can register my account to apps from TV Networks and works as if I had cable or satellite contract. I mean that I can use HBOGO, FOXNOW or the ComedyCentral apps, by using DTVNow as any other TV service provider. I cannot do that with Sling.

What people are not understanding is the actual value of no contract or set up fees. Over the Air channels have most of their new shows in the Fall and Winter and Cable channels in the Spring and Summer. So, with an antenna and either a WinTV Stick or HDHomeRun network box, you can DVR your shows from your over the air channels and then sign up for the Streaming Service in the Spring. If you miss any episodes or shows, you can usually get them On Demand. You can sign up for Hulu, just after the Originals have aired and then use On Demand to watch them. The same thing with CBS All Access. If you sign up with All Access right now, you can watch The Good Fight and Star Trek in a month or two. The same goes for Netflix. Because of On Demand, you don't really have to watch anything live, as I explain in my below explanation of PlayOn and their option of AdSkip.

My point is to get the channels you need when you need them, that is the somewhat unsung benefit of the Streaming Services. There are very few cable shows in the fall and winter so you don't need the streaming service during that time. For the last month I signed up for CBS All Access and watched everything in one month and now can cancel, but they offered me another free month, so I am taking it. I have not missed one Cable Show that I wanted to watch. When I again sign up for streaming, I will catch up on Vikings and Knightfall on the History channel because I can go directly to the On Demand area of the History Channel with my credentials. I could sign back up with Spectrum Streaming Only, which they offer in my area, but I am thinking of DirectTV Now as an alternative.

But seeing as how I've gone from a cable bill of $135.00/mo to a DirecTV Now bill of $50.00/mo I'm not crying. AND I got a great deal when I signed on of $25.00/mo discount for the first 3 months. Now I'm trying to decide what I'm going to buy myself with all the money I'm saving on the cable bill every month.

I was planning on cutting the cord a month or two ago, we have Direct TV, and when I called and said I wanted to cancel and why I was given a offer I couldn't refuse, basically we keep the same service but only pay $15 a month with no contract, unless we wanted to upgrade our older box style to the Gene, or whatever their newer system is called. Of course since I planning on trying either DirecTV Now or one of the other services I decided to keep the satalite service, and sure enough my bill was knocked down to $15 a month, plus tax of course. I'll be interested to see how long they maintain this price before trying to gradually decrease it, and I've told them, the first increase they can cancel my service, so this should be interesting.

It buffers a lot during certain times, watching certain channels, the screen will go black and say this channel is not in your service area LOL -- after I was watching if for 15 minutes. I noticed that the quality is not as good as KZitem TV as well. Now before you say it's my Internet, I assure you it is not -- I have a 400 Mb pipe coming into my place.

I have AT&T and DirecTV Now. I get it for a $10 per month add-on promotion, so I'm obviously happy with the pricing. However, I still don't think it's ready to replace traditional cable or satalite TV. I'm using it on a first generation Fire TV. Unfortunately, it's slow. It takes forever to buffer, even on a high speed cable connection. The app itself is fairly easy to use, but could be better. The on-demand streaming forgets your place if you stop watching and the commercials are very loud, more than traditional TV. Fortunately, I have Hulu for this purpose, so I mostly use it to watch live TV. A couple weeks ago the app stopped working on my Fire TV because it was suddenly unsupported. That was a surprise, but it did start working again a few days later. On the plus side, I do like the 72 hour rewind. Mostly because the commercials are more varied, unlike Hulu and on-demand playing the same commercial 1,000 times over and over. Drives me nuts. Overall, if I would probably not pay full price for this service and I would definitely not choose it as a replacement for traditional TV service, especially if I didn't also have access to Hulu and Netflix.

The thing you miss here when you say it's not much different pricewise if you don't take the lower cost tier because you take its cost plus the cost of high-speed Internet, is that most people don't buy high-speed Internet just for DirecTV Now. Most people already have high-speed Internet. I don't think most people would be purchasing high-speed Internet just for DirecTV Now. So the price for the DirecTV Now is way cheaper for us that are paying $120 over what we already pay for high-speed Internet. So the top tier option DirecTV Now is still going to be cheaper for us.

But when you use Direct TV Now or VUE or any of these streaming TV channel options are the shows played the same time as they are on regular TV and you get 1 chance (if not a repeat) to watch it or can you call it up on Demand. If 1 chance then definitely need a DVR. I currently use a TIVO but don't think it will record streaming data. So what do people use.

The Special is $35 each 100 Mbps internet and the full Spectrum app, plus the usual $7.50 locals charge. The problem is that you have to be Internet only or I guess nothing to get the deal. So when it is available, you would have to go with Sling or DirectTV for one or two months in order to get the deal. The good thing is you already have the app so you can evaluate how it will work for you right now. As far a DVR for Direct TV or Spectrum App only you can use something called PlayOn for a one time Lifetime license. I will put a stand alone comment on PlayOn

DTVN quotes 2.5-7.5 Mbps required speed for streaming HD and 150 Kbps - 2.5 Mbps for SD. If your wireless router can't hit 7.5Mbps of actual throughput then you must be on wireless B from 1999. DTVN is also the only service (including Sling, Netflix, Hulu, and various station streaming apps) that pauses, stutters, 'can't locate channel', and just generally is a pain to use.

The bottom line for me is that if live tv is really all you use you will be fine with this service, but if you are a heavy dvr user it still needs lots of work.

I've had DTVNow for about five months now, and I can agree with most everything stated (pros and cons), but the aspect of commercials is kind of an invalid point. If you pair any of the DTVNow channels with PlayOn (about another $10/month), and you can skip commercials, just like you can with a DVR with cable. Another aspect that is misleading is that while I don't have local CBS and NBC, there are other places in the US with live CBS and NBC using DTVNow... it just depends on where you live. If you are comparing to the other streaming services (like Sling, PlayStation Vue, KZitem TV...), it is exactly the same, and here in Juneau, Alaska, even cable and satellite is not currently showing Fox TV or NBC, so, that point is not applicable for all subscribers. I know it is tough to edit the video once it's posted, but that one point is not accurate, and it is at least misleading.

If you use the Desktop version of PlayOn, then there is no $10 a month and no .20 per recording, just a one time lifetime license which is on a special offer right now. Desktop works with Roku for your TV and there is a cast options for each recording, but I don't understand casting.

Regarding CBS and NBC, are you confusing live TV with local TV? DTV carries live CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX networks. What you don't have is the local affiliate of CBS, NBC or FOX. Which just means you can't watch your local news.

By Far the Most Horrible Cable Service....these there’s no where to begin...the buffering, the channels turning off for no reason and say you can no longer watch it, the fact there’s no customer service number everything is on online, the fact they just offer cheaper services rather than fix current issues, the lies, the list goes on and on.....Sad Company..Don’t waste your time!!!!! These reviews are 100% accurate.

Currently beta testing. New interface is polished and smoother (when it works) which is 90 percent of the time. Still a little buggy but I imagine it’ll all be hammered out in the final build. The dvr is good. My one gripe with it is that right now you have the option only to dvr one episode or the entire series (this includes reruns) which I find annoying. I hope when they finalize the DVR they give you the option of recording once or new episodes of a series only

"Just go buy an HD antenna..." Yeah, right... as long as you can get signal... since the switch from analog to digital OTA, reception is a crapshoot (sorry inside apartments and basements). The original FCC "must carry" rules required all providers to carry all local OTA channels, so consumers wouldn't have to have two "systems". But today's corporate control screws the viewer. The "must carry" provision should be reinstated, and a total a la carte streaming provider should emerge. OTA networks getting bogus "re-broadcast fees" to extend their programming (and advertising) to more viewers? The consumer stays screwed...

None of these streaming services are all that great, you might be "cutting the cord", but you are not really saving much money if you are trying to get the same stuff that you had with cable. Most cable companies now offer no installation fees and no contracts, so that is no longer an issue. And one I know for certain (Spectrum) is now offering a true a la carte option.
@ReviewsOrg

We beg to differ! While cable is still great for some people, I personally save $25 a month by streaming only and don't feel like I miss a thing. It's different for everyone depending on what you want to watch and have access to.

I agree with you on it depends on what you want to watch and have access to, but I just wanted to point out you are basically comparing apples to oranges...When comparing apples to apples, cable is still gonna be the best choice for most people, especially when you are in a bundle package deal. The funny thing here is people will be using cable's internet service to get the competitor's streaming service, lol...
@Tes7000

hulkyouup I have been thinking about switching from cable to a streaming package for a couple of weeks, and I think you are right. When I called DirecTV to inquire about canceling my cable service and just keeping internet, they offered me a deal of $104 per month. If I cancel cable and just keep the internet, I will have to pay $60 per month. I talked to a friend about splitting the $50 DirecTV Now package. That would bring my monthly total back up to $85 for internet and cable. I would only be saving $19 per month, and I might be getting a service with a lot of buffering for saving not a lot. I don't really care that much about sports, so I thought about Philo TV. I also could hook up an antenna and use one of the cheap apps to DVR over-the-air broadcasts. Now, if I do all of this and split Philo TV, I would see a real savings there, Like maybe $30 per month. I can see the benefit to switching to these streaming packages, but since you're internet bill is likely to go up, you really have to think about whether cutting the cord is really worth it.
