That's what I did, signed up last week. So far the service has been good outside of a couple times where it was unwatchabletamusc said:
Good call, I' probably going to give it a shot for three months and get a free Apple TV out of the deal.

I'm probably going to go back to Vue after the three months with DirecTV Now as we're missing the DVR and dropping down to two streams has caused a few issues.belowpar said:
I'm a Playstation Vue guy, more expensive but gives me all the channels I need/want. DTV now had some holes. Very good deal tho. We use Fire TV's on main TV's and Fire stick on outside TV, Kids TV, etc. Allows up to 5 streams at once and has the locals in DFW (minus ABC live, only on demand). I pay $75 but includes HBO, Showtime, EPIX, locals, everything they offer.
Absolutely love it.
Very intrigued by this as well. IF they have better coverage for locals than Vue, this could be a serious contender.Pman17 said:
I love my DirecTV Now and sticking with it at the grandfathered price.
Some people are experimenting each service. Hulu just showed off what theirs will look like, but no details on pricing and line up.
That's more what I meant when I said locals. I want to be able to stream the big four live and not have that restricted by content (like sports blackouts or streaming restrictions on mobile).dave99ag said:
I don't really care about locals (B/CS news? meh), but I do want a service that offers all the networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox). Hopefully one of them will figure that out at some point.
Agreed, that's really my only frustration with Directv Now (we don't get CBS or NBC in Houston). I'll probably just go get an antenna, but I'd like to have everything in one interfacetamusc said:That's more what I meant when I said locals.

Same with me in Dallas. Some of you guys who for whatever reason are not cool with the HD antenna option are missing out. Its $25 and literally takes maybe 10 minutes to set up. You can then hide all of the BS channels you don't want and have a clean 5-6 OTA channels to flip through when you aren't watching the Apple TV/fire stick for "cable".AggieLong said:
I just picked up an HD antenna off Amazon for ~$25. I now get all of the local Houston stations.
Which one do you use? I'd like to go ahead and order it today so I have it for the games this weekendTexasAggie008 said:Same with me in Dallas.
