I probably go to directv now more than any of the other OTT.  Sometimes I go to 
Sling but I think DTN has all the same stuff.  There is a new one that is very 
low cost philo.  I have not given it a good try yet.

Our Viva Entertainment is the same price for a similar package for IP package.  
That must be pretty standard now.

So I just accepted the offer to beta test the DirecTV Now DVR feature 
and updated guide.

It doesn't work on Roku but does work on the Apple TV they gave me when 
I signed up.

I don't have time to play with it today but I'll probably schedule some 
shows to record

tomorrow to play with it.

 

I did test the pause feature and it worked as expected. Pretty excited 
about it since in

my area it includes ABC, CBS and NBC local channels. I've been using 
DirecTV Now

exclusively for about 4 months now and am pretty happy with it.

 

Very happy to have cut the cord.

I just put this page up:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Streaming_and_Satellite_TV_Packages

Tired of comparing packages.  It needs lots of work.  I would like to change 
the x marks out to some code reflecting which packages have that channel.  Like 
to make the table sortable etc.  Do we have a DTV channel lineup yet?

Featuring "very, very aggressive price points," the service is said to include 
more than 100 premium channels and will come in app form on smartphones, 
tablets, and set-top boxes, although the specifics of the launch were kept to a 
minimum.

Well if they can transition 90% of their people to streaming they can sell off 
their space segment.  

Are the packages identical on streaming to the satellite?

Streaming only, just like slingtv

 

AT believes it can offer something more attractive. The company plans to 
initially go after the 20 million households with no pay TV subscription, 
Stephenson said.

 

When asked if DirecTV Now could threaten its DirecTV satellite business, 
Stephenson (CEO) acknowledged some risk. But "that's a good sign," he said.

"If you don't see them threatening your legacy products, 99 percent of the time 
they don't go anywhere," he said. "It means you found something the market 
really wants."
