Seems silly for them to make a big deal out of CBS when it is only for 14 markets thus far.

Makes you wonder how much business they're not getting by not having it. Local channels were a big thing when I decided to make the switch. I have an antenna as well, but want that to be only a backup and not something I have to rely on for local channels. I'd also lose the ability to record shows that we watch.

Response when pressed for proof:
I actually have 6 links, and was getting super pissed the more info I looked up...So, look it up yourself, I am not going to fight about something I know to be true, to a person who would just as soon see me in prison or dead.

No idea. I am still carrying my $35 grandfathered sub even though we hardly use it at the moment. Once DVR is in and the locals are sorted out we'll probably dump PSVue.

DirecTV Now works with the single sign on with tvOS 11 and iOS11.

Thank you. So tired of constantly having to log into the individual apps almost at random. Not sure why I get logged out of things and then have to go my iPad to set it up again. Seems to happen every couple of months on various apps, not sure why. Hopefully this fixes this issue.

So this time the Sunday Night game says it's not available with my DTVNow account. Signed into my parents dish network account and I'm able to watch. Kind of frustrating.

Anybody update to tvOS 11 on AppleTV yet? How does Directv Now work with it? Single sign on actually supported now?

I tried searching for an update yesterday but it said I was up to date. Anyone know how to update to 11? It is supposed to work with single sign on.

It started back up a month ago. I don't know if it's still going but you have to either call or go in store to sign up for a 3 month subscription and get one.

I signed up for a free 7 days and had zero issue watching the USWNT Soccer last night.

However this morning I figured I would catch up on some TV. So I went to some websites and tried to watch.

FX -> The Americans -> FAIL!!!
FX -> Fargo -> FAIL!!!
AMC -> Better Call Saul -> FAIL!!!

I haven't had an tv streaming subscription since last football season, but it used to be you could log on and watch old episodes. It looks like now that's changed? Apparently the new model is that shows expire mere days after they air, and then for the newest season your options are to either pay a site (like iTunes or Amazon for the most recent season) or wait until it pops up on a free site? WTF!!!

Part of the reason I would pay to subscribe would be to be able to watch the latest season of shows, but it looks like that's not an option.

So basically the sole advantage of DirectNow, Sling, PS VUE would be that I could watch live sports? Hard pass for that price if I can't even catch up on the shows I love on the networks I am PAYING FOR!!!

You can watch all of those on the Fox app after logging in with DTVNow subscription

That's good to know, but I used to be able to watch on their websites. I work from home with a second monitor and watch a ton of shows on my second monitor while I work. So now I guess I need my iPad on the desk too.

On PS Vue, if added to "My Shows", you can stream from your PC.

Are you sure about that? I just tried FXNow app and AMC app and nothing. The Fox app doesn't even list DirectNow as a provider option.

Note: Better Call Saul lists the episodes but only have "Extras" available for each one, not the episode itself.

By the way, it looks like Directv Now single sign on is NOT supported in tvOS11. Updated to tvOS11 yesterday and wasn't able to login to Directv Now via single sign on.

Did you make DirecTV Now your default service in settings?

I found and selected Directv Now as my TV provider in the Settings (which was not there with previous versions of tvOS). However, I was not able to enter any credentials (email/password/etc...). So, I was never actually able to login via single sign on.

As I was never prompted to enter credentials, I don't see how other apps could utilize the "single sign on credentials" to log me in. So, that's why I don't think it is fully supported yet on tvOS11.

Android's FoxGo has DirectTV Now as an option. Like most apps, you have to go to Other Providers or search for it.

It seems like episodes expire as soon as the season is over.

As much as I hate DTV and ATT, this is wrong.

I hate my DIRECTV now. Buffers all the time and I've had to uninstall and reinstall the app more than a handful of times because it quits working. Just stops loading all interface and stalls out.
