Be nice if DTVN was more stable. From: Harold Bledsoe Sent: Monday, January 09, 2017 6:12 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Directv Now Compared to SlingTV or Vue (or Hulu, HBO GO, etc.) DTVN has a long ways to go on the stability side. I've had it around a month and while live TV has gotten to just a few stalls per night, on demand is still unusable. That said, apple TV for 3 months pre-paid means they have 3 months to make it work right? On Sun, Jan 8, 2017 at 4:59 PM Chuck McCown < ch...@wbmfg.com > wrote: <blockquote> I like the captions. I can sit here with kids and grandkids with prairie home companion playing and still watch a show with really decent caption text. Playing past episodes of shows is till dicey. I will go to Roku for that for now. I tried playing some episodes of The Profit several times only to have them quit in the middle. I like the video quality of the apple TV, but it still pauses now and then on live TV. Being an early adopter I have patience. But it better be better than Roku/Playstation VUE in a year or it is history. DirectTV Now has the best guide. On the PC it kills the show you are watching while looking at the guile. On the AppleTV it has the show playing behind the guide. I still go to Sling and then, but not sure I need it for anything. I may have my HBO accounts coupled to it. </blockquote>
