You can also go to the discover tab, choose your network, and watch it there.  
That way you can choose from on demand, or watch what is live at that moment.

Direct tv Now has improved dramatically over the last 6 months.  It use to be 
horrible, almost unusable on IOS, but do able on appleTV, now it is excellent 
on iPhone and iPad.  Even has tabs along the bottom with categories, and 
sections of each channel that allow you to watch the 72 hour rewind if that 
channel has it available.  I have a little more riding on leaving them, since I 
am locked into a permeation they had when the service 1st launched.

You can go to the guide to choose your channels or if you have watched
a channel recently go under watch now. That's how I find the channels
I want to watch on direct tv now.

I have the Toshiba Fire TV and get rather frustrated on trying to get to 
channels that I want to watch.

I like to watch Fox News Channel.  I have Direct TV Now which is very 
accessible.  However, it seems that you have to go channel by channel.  Alexa 
doesn’t seem to be able to access all channels or am I missing something?

Re: Best streaming TV app

I was referring to Direct TV Now, it was horrible on both the iPhone and the 
Apple TV. I thought updates would maybe fix the issues, but that never 
happened. When I finally gave up on it, it was because I could not get it to 
work by myself and I really hate having to ask a sighted person to set my TV 
channel that I am interested in watching. I am super happy with Spectrum 
because I can use all of the features on the iPhone and the Apple TV without 
asking for help.

If you are talking about traditional Direct TV, If you have ghe Genie 
receiver, it is accessible with their talking guide.  About the only thing 
you can’t do is some of the settings.


If you are talking about the IPhone app, it is totally accessible.

If you ar talking about Direct TV Now, as I stated earlier, the IPhone app 
is totally accessible, and the Apple TV app is accessible except for the 
guide...and if you work at it real hard you can get some of it to read.  I 
had DTN back when they first came out with it, and it was totally 
accessible, so hopefully they will fix the ATV app.


In my area Spectru is $21.99 .. plus $3 for local subscriber fees .. and 
then local taxes ..

When we had Direct TV, I as a blind user could not use it myself. Yes, you 
do get more channels with other services, but if the accessibility is 
horrible, like it was with Direct TV, I would much rather pay the amount 
for Spectrum since it is something I can use without sighted assistance 
than to pay $40 for Direct TV and have to ask someone with sight to work 
it for me.

I am using Cox for my service, and you can get something called voice guide. 
The only thing it doesn’t read is the apps available. But it is quite 
expensive. Has anyone checked out the accessibility of Hulu live TV or YouTube

Re: Best streaming TV app

2019-02-05 Thread Peter Logan
If you are talking about traditional Direct TV, If you have ghe Genie receiver, 
it is accessible with their talking guide.  About the only thing you can’t do 
is some of the settings.

If you are talking about the IPhone app, it is totally accessible.

If you ar talking about Direct TV Now, as I stated earlier, the IPhone app is 
totally accessible, and the Apple TV app is accessible except for the 
guide...and if you work at it real hard you can get some of it to read.  I had 
DTN back when they first came out with it, and it was totally accessible, so 
hopefully they will fix the ATV app.

In my area Spectru is $21.99 .. plus $3 for local subscriber fees .. and then 
local taxes ..

Subject: Re: Best streaming TV app

I have been doing a lot of research on this lately as my DT contract is about 
to be up.  A lot of it is going to depend on what you want to watch and how you 
watch it.  If you watch live or want to watch from a DVR.  If you care about 
described content or not.  Here is what I have found so far, some of this might 
also be controlled by local stations and what they are required to provide.

Spectrum TV 
This seems to work well for watching live TV.  It’s easy to access both on the 
IPhone and Apple TV.  It seems to provide SAP on most of the channels in my 
area that provide it.  No DVR, however you can watch “on Demand”, but have to 
deal with ads and no SAP there.  you can pair this with a traditional cable box 
and via that watch DVR, but you can’t via the app.

DirectV Now 
App on the IPhone works well, but on Apple TV you have to really work hard to 
get any useful info out of the guide.  Someone recently answered a question I 
had here about that and they responded that the FireTV works better for the 
guide, however you can browse via network and swith to the channel that way.  
DTN gives you 20 hours of a cloud DVR.  You can access that quite easily and it 
works pretty well both on the IPhone and ATV.  It allows you to skip 
commercials and such.  I have yet to figure out if SAP is available.  In the 
settings I have “English Descriptive” as the language, but don’t get anything 
there.

YouTube TV
It was about a month ago I played with this one, so might not be correctly 
anymore.  This one did allow for SAP when you were watching the live feed, or 
the DVR recording within a couple of hours of the actual broadcast.  After a 
short period the recordings seemed to swap to the “On Demand” version, and once 
that happened you couldn’t skip commercials or get the SAP anymore.  The 
interface on the IPhone whas better than on the ATV, but again this was back in 
Dec. so that might have changed.

Hulu 
Also tried this with the live channels.  Didn’t spend a lot of time with this 
because the interface is still not the best.  So, I got rid of it.

Most of these start around $40/month, eccept for the Spectrum TV which you can 
get for about $25, but you are only supposed to get your locals and 10 channels 
you choose.  For some reason I was only limited on the cable box and via the 
app had access to all channels.  A call to Spectrum said that the system would 
eventually sync that up.

I’d suggest that you download the apps and give them a whirl.  Most of them 
will give you 7 days free to try.

Hope this helps.

We pay $21.99 plus tax for the Spectrum choose 10 plus local channels. When 
we had Direct TV, I as a blind user could not use it myself. Yes, you do get 
more channels with other services, but if the accessibility is horrible, 
like it was with Direct TV, I would much rather pay the amount for Spectrum 
since it is something I can use without sighted assistance than to pay $40 
for Direct TV and have to ask someone with sight to work it for me.

Re: Best streaming TV app

2019-02-05 Thread Peter Logan
I have been doing a lot of research on this lately as my DT contract is about 
to be up.  A lot of it is going to depend on what you want to watch and how you 
watch it.  If you watch live or want to watch from a DVR.  If you care about 
described content or not.  Here is what I have found so far, some of this might 
also be controlled by local stations and what they are required to provide.

Spectrum TV 
This seems to work well for watching live TV.  It’s easy to access both on the 
IPhone and Apple TV.  It seems to provide SAP on most of the channels in my 
area that provide it.  No DVR, however you can watch “on Demand”, but have to 
deal with ads and no SAP there.  you can pair this with a traditional cable box 
and via that watch DVR, but you can’t via the app.

DirectV Now 
App on the IPhone works well, but on Apple TV you have to really work hard to 
get any useful info out of the guide.  Someone recently answered a question I 
had here about that and they responded that the FireTV works better for the 
guide, however you can browse via network and swith to the channel that way.  
DTN gives you 20 hours of a cloud DVR.  You can access that quite easily and it 
works pretty well both on the IPhone and ATV.  It allows you to skip 
commercials and such.  I have yet to figure out if SAP is available.  In the 
settings I have “English Descriptive” as the language, but don’t get anything 
there.

YouTube TV
It was about a month ago I played with this one, so might not be correctly 
anymore.  This one did allow for SAP when you were watching the live feed, or 
the DVR recording within a couple of hours of the actual broadcast.  After a 
short period the recordings seemed to swap to the “On Demand” version, and once 
that happened you couldn’t skip commercials or get the SAP anymore.  The 
interface on the IPhone whas better than on the ATV, but again this was back in 
Dec. so that might have changed.

Hulu 
Also tried this with the live channels.  Didn’t spend a lot of time with this 
because the interface is still not the best.  So, I got rid of it.

Most of these start around $40/month, eccept for the Spectrum TV which you can 
get for about $25, but you are only supposed to get your locals and 10 channels 
you choose.  For some reason I was only limited on the cable box and via the 
app had access to all channels.  A call to Spectrum said that the system would 
eventually sync that up.

I’d suggest that you download the apps and give them a whirl.  Most of them 
will give you 7 days free to try.

Hope this helps.
