Compared to SlingTV or Vue (or Hulu, HBO GO, etc.) DTVN has a long ways to
go on the stability side.  I've had it around a month and while live TV has
gotten to just a few stalls per night, on demand is still unusable.

That said, apple TV for 3 months pre-paid means they have 3 months to make
it work right?

Can you (or someone else that has it) tell us what CDN service it's using? 
Should be able to Torch the connection or if on a PC, Resource Manager should 
tell you what IP you're talking to.

Do you know what the minimum Internet connection speed is for Apple video?  Not 
Netflix on an Apple TV, but content bought through Apple.

 

If that doesn’t explain it, my next theory would be the kids have their iPads 
set up to watch content from their home cable connection like Comcast.  It’s no 
use asking the grandparents, it’s like asking them if their computer has DDR3 
or DDR4 SDRAM.

We pay $0 for our TV. Is that low enough? OTA, we get 60+ channels. 
Many Spanish, Korean, and Chinese, but all the main network channels

We have a DVR+, which also gets us access to a bunch of streaming

Can you skip any commercials, or is that how they

With my DISH Network, I can skip all the
commercials... plus DVR function, and over 250
channels including HBO, Showtime, etc. for less
than $50/month. I also get all the local channels
in HD without having to add another antenna. :)

  We pay $0 for our TV. Is that low enough? OTA, we get 60+ channels. Many 
Spanish, Korean, and Chinese, but all the main network channels and 6 PBS 
channels are included.

  We have a DVR+, which also gets us access to a bunch of streaming channels. 
And a Roku as well. We don't pay for premium channels.

We pay $0 for our TV. Is that low enough? OTA, we get 60+ channels. Many 
Spanish, Korean, and Chinese, but all the main network channels and 6 PBS 
channels are included.

We have a DVR+, which also gets us access to a bunch of streaming channels. And 
a Roku as well. We don't pay for premium channels.

This is pretty normal until they develop signatures for a new platform. 
It's using HTTPS for transport, so without a more specific signature, it 
will just show up as SSL.

I just tested this with the free preview they have during the signup 
process. Traffic is showing up in Procera box as SSL port 443, don't

updates as of today so don't know why its showing up as SSL unless 
they "DirecTV" is trying to circumvent things throttling them like 
Procera.


Initially I left this stream un-throtteled and seen it bouncing around 
as high as 11mbps to 0mbps. They I throttled it with a Mikrotik Simple 
Queue at 3mbps and it seemed to be fine. I then set it to 2Mbps and it 
cut out once but then held steady and never cut out again. Seemed to 
auto adjust the quality down pretty low after it buffered the one time 
and was drawing as low as 500kbps. Then I turned it back up to 3Mbps 
and the picture quality got better again, didn't seem to notice 
anything better as far as quality with 3Mbps throttle or no throttle.

We pay $0 for our TV. Is that low enough? OTA, we get 60+ channels. Many 
Spanish, Korean, and Chinese, but all the main network channels and 6 
PBS channels are included.


We have a DVR+, which also gets us access to a bunch of streaming 
channels. And a Roku as well. We don't pay for premium channels.

Haven't had cable for 12 years.  When I had it before that, I would 
literally only watch 1 channel.  There just isn't anything on.  I don't

channels including HBO, Showtime, etc. for less than
$50/month. I also get all the local channels in HD

Re: [AFMUG] OT Directv Now

2016-11-30 Thread Kurt Fankhauser

I just tested this with the free preview they have during the signup
process. Traffic is showing up in Procera box as SSL port 443, don't know
if that's going to be an issue with Deep Packet Inspection filtering in the
future or not, I have latest Procera signature updates as of today so don't
know why its showing up as SSL unless they "DirecTV" is trying to
circumvent things throttling them like Procera.

Initially I left this stream un-throtteled and seen it bouncing around as
high as 11mbps to 0mbps. They I throttled it with a Mikrotik Simple
Queue at 3mbps and it seemed to be fine. I then set it to 2Mbps and it cut
out once but then held steady and never cut out again. Seemed to auto
adjust the quality down pretty low after it buffered the one time and was
drawing as low as 500kbps. Then I turned it back up to 3Mbps and the
picture quality got better again, didn't seem to notice anything better as
far as quality with 3Mbps throttle or no throttle.

Re: [AFMUG] OT Directv Now

2016-11-30 Thread Ken Hohhof

I think there may be 2 mechanism at play, a higher level one watching client
buffer fill and deciding what stream quality to send and in what size
chunks.  Then a lower level one that decides whether to send the next packet
or not, and retries the packets that dont get ACKd.

 

It has to be inefficient, throwing away a few packets to get the server to
stop sending, then having those packets resent, especially if you do this 10
or 20 packets to stop the server from bursting.

 

When we use a queue to police the traffic, we may think the other end is
sending at a lower rate, but it may be a really fast stop-start thing, since
policing chops off the bursts.  But traffic shaping requires that you buffer
the packets until the additional round trip latency slows the sender down,
not sure how much buffer depth and latency this requires, it might be quite
a bit and just as damaging to other traffic as dropping packets.

Yes... all the Apple TV stuff is very "bursty"... it's not a constant
stream. I've had Apple TV since the very first version... it will burst up
to about 8-10Mbps for 1-2 seconds, and then go away for 1-2 seconds, etc.

  I am watching it right now at work.  I signed up for 3 months prepaid so they 
are sending a “free” Apple TV.  
  Initial reaction is that the guide on the computer is better than Playstation 
VUE or Sling TV.  
  It gets me my Discovery so I can watch Gold Rush.  HBO is only $5 so there is 
my West World.  

  I don’t know if they have a Showtime option but you can get that ala carte 
anyhow on Roku.  

  It does not have a Roku app for a few months yet.  But I am sure I will 
prefer the Apple TV to the Roku.  

  So far I am liking it.

Hey,

Can you skip any commercials, or is that how they are helping pay for 
the service?


With my DISH Network, I can skip all the commercials... plus DVR 
function, and over 250 channels including HBO, Showtime, etc. for less 
than $50/month. I also get all the local channels in HD without having 
to add another antenna. :)

Yes... all the Apple TV stuff is very "bursty"... it's not a constant 
stream. I've had Apple TV since the very first version... it will burst 
up to about 8-10Mbps for 1-2 seconds, and then go away for 1-2 seconds, etc.

Direct says DVR coming soon.  I am currently watching an episode of Halt and 
Catch Fire.  But they don’t have season 3 archived all the way back to the 
first episode.  So it appears you do have a time limit on watching your 
favorites.

watching on a laptop HDMI'd to my TV, and I can't pattern it in my tik yet.   
It's all over the place.   seems quite bursty.   Need to queue it and see how 
it behaves.

It said it's a 32gb 4th gen.

So is this a 3rd gen or 4th gen Apple TV?  I thought I heard that Apple was 
discontinuing Apple TV along with Airports, but apparently it is the 3rd gen 
that is being discontinued.  If Direct TV is handing out free 4th gen units, 
those are pricey.  Or are they handing out refurbed 3rd gen or something?

Is there a limit on concurrent sessions per user? 
how much bandwidth does it suck up per stream?

2016-11-30 Thread Chuck McCown

I am watching it right now at work.  I signed up for 3 months prepaid so they 
are sending a “free” Apple TV.  
Initial reaction is that the guide on the computer is better than Playstation 
VUE or Sling TV.  
It gets me my Discovery so I can watch Gold Rush.  HBO is only $5 so there is 
my West World.  

I don’t know if they have a Showtime option but you can get that ala carte 
anyhow on Roku.  

It does not have a Roku app for a few months yet.  But I am sure I will prefer 
the Apple TV to the Roku.  

So far I am liking it.

You would think that there would be some white label options available now that 
there is a precedent for this...
