Discover.  A&E I think.  

Discover is the big one for me.  Vue has it too.  

DTVN has a better guide, remote and picture than the others.  I hope it can get 
the demand problem fixed.

What does DTVNow have over Sling?  If Sling is stable, why wouldn't someone 
just use that instead?

  It must be your Internet, call and complain.



  Seriously, if it’s unstable, I hope none of my customers sign up, because 
they will blame the ISP.

  Yeah, I go to Roku for the on demand, but I have to Sling for some channels 
and Vue for others.  Be nice if DTVN was more stable.

  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?

    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.
