I wish I'd done this years ago. Don't have Hulu, just DirectvNow and Netflix. I 
wish DIY, and the cooking channel were apart of the cheaper bundle, but I'd 
have to go to the $60 a month plan for just adding those channels. *sigh* Can't 
justify that.

In case you haven’t tried it yet, the Xfinity Stream TV app for both Android 
and iOS are both excellent, very accessible, and do have descriptive video  
that works very well, and is very easy to setup in the app.

We don’t have Comcast downl here. So far, I’m happy with Directv Now. I’ll let 
everyone know what I think of the others as I try them.

Well, I gave up on the cord cutting and went with Comcast voice guidance. They 
have a voice guidance system, much like a screen reader, that works great and 
allows me to do everything I need to do. Yes, I’m paying the price for it, but 
good things are worth paying for. Good luck with sling and all the other 
services, maybe one day I’ll join you.

Hi all:

I’ve had Directv Now for about two weeks. The service is 90% usable.

You will want to use it on an Apple TV with the remote set to direct touch. 
While playing a show, you can swipe across the remote to channel surf. You can 
search for content. You can view all networks via the guide. It is easy to mark 
and unmark channels as favorites, as well as to view only favorite channels.

With the iOS app, you can search for content. You can add shows to watch list. 
You cannot view network list, even in the guide. You cannot add channels to 
favorites. I have the $35 a month plan, with promotional price for $10 a month. 
They also have free Apple tv promotion for prepaying for service. I plan on 
trying the others as a free trial and then deciding which I want to keep.
