Direct TV Now
Does anyone have it? Looking to cut down on TV cost and this will save me 50% over current bills. I know there is no DVR capability but according to the site, programing is available soon after broadcasting. Anyone know any more details on that part? We like to watch various sit-coms. Will they be available that night or do we have to wait a few days.... ??
Ms Mash will not give up channel surfing, she will not watch on a tablet or phone, she will not go to web sites to steam, she will not hunt on a Roku or what ever. She likes what she likes and I am not going to fight that battle. So for those looking to give alternatives .... don't unless the above criteria is met. DTV Now's basic $35 package has the channel she wants so I am good with that. Thanks

you can channel surf all you want on it, just get a roku box. It's basically like a cable box with a guide, channel up/down etc, no real difference.

Sounds like a Spanish Pipedream to me
She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal Well, she pressed her chest against me About the time the juke box broke Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck And these are the words she spoke |

Direct NOW is delivered over the net, not a dish.

From what you know that rewind is available for all current Direct TV stations, and come with the guide? If so they may have just turned a $140/month customer into a $35/mo customer

Comcast in Atlanta is $185 for phone, internet, and tv. Outrageous.

My understanding is yes. One catch I have been reading about in the reviews is that there are adds (not a huge issue) but you cannot fast-forward. You have to watch a show from beginning to end. If you want to take up a show where you left off it will not let you.

I'm the same way. Hate commercials. The DTV rep said that the steaming is still being rolled out so there are bugs and such to be worked out.
I know if I go to the NBC site or what ever to stream an episode I can back up go forward and all that. They do make.you sit through adds but I can mute the TV or leave and do something while they are playing. I'd settle for that set up.

One thing else,Hollywood no longer interest me really.They remake every show and movie.New shows like walking dead are soaps,never ending shows.No real action and finish in one hour anymore.Remaking ok for special effects,but its a slap in the face of people who worked hard.
