In order to take advantage of it you had to be on AT&T before today. The FCC wouldn’t allow them to do it any differently.

I was looking forward to this service. We are cutting our Comcast cable TV out at the middle of next month. Sling TV being in accessible looked like a loser. Now this is a loser. These big companies really don't have any excuse. If and when they fix it, I'm sure the introductory offer will be long gone. Mary

Channel names are inaccessible, plus various other things. Not impressed at all.

You can scroll up and down, the channels aren’t labeled like in sling TV, but if you swipe to the right, it will tell you what is currently on, and if you swipe down, it will tell you what is up coming. Most don’t like that you have to work with apps like this, but what can you do except deal with it until enough people contact them to fix the issues. I signed up for the 3 month per motion, and my appleTV4 should be here before christmas. On Nov 30, 2016, at 8:27 AM, Daniel Miller <miller...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi. I managed to get signed up using my iPhone. The sign up process was 100% accessible. As far as watching anything on the site, I haven't tried that yet. The apps also aren't out yet, give that time. And also, just because a website accessibility for these types of things is bad does it mean the app it will be. They use the plug-in called silver light by Microsoft, which isn't the best for making that type of content accessible. It's just as bad in my opinion as flash is. Fire fox is not supported at this time. You need to use chrome, Internet Explorer, or safari. They recommend chrome for the best experience.

The page is up, and ready to go. You can create an account, and you do get a 7 day trial,. However, if the site is any indecation as to how accessible the app is for the Apple tv, we may be in for some difficult times. I have waited for this to happen for a while now. I've been excited about it. I even checked a little after midnight, to see if the site was ready. LOL! I can't seem to get signed up. I can put my email address in, create a password, but that's as far as I seem to get. Supposedly there is a capcha, but it never opens. Also, I believe you are supposed to agree to their terms, and such. But there is no checkbox to be able to do this. Also, when there was an area that showed stuff possibly playing currently, it was out of order, and diidn't match up with the stations the shows should have been playing on. I tried using Firefox. But according to the site, my version of Firefox is not up to date. I'm not sure what version of Firefox I am currently using, but I thought it was up to date. Also, I tried to chat live, but it never seemed to connect to anyone. So maybe this feature isn't available. Maybe currently there is nobody to chat with. I just don't know. I tried to find a number to tech support. But whenever I call a number, it wants an account number. I can't get past this. Also, I have looked for the app in the app store. I have tried entering different things. But I have come up with nothing. If anyone has a better experience, and manages to get signed up, please let us know. If I figure it out, I will let you all know. Thank you, Terri -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
