Direct TV Now
Does anyone have Direct TV Now?
I am thinking of cutting the cord and going with Internet only and then adding Direct TV Now.
Pros?
Cons?

Direct TV Now
We have had it for about a year now. It was very cheap and we got an Apple TV when we joined. It’s good. The interface does get glitchy at times. I could be watching tv and it just freezes for anywhere from 1 min to 20 min which is annoying when you into your show! Aldo the guide is glitchy as well. If you can deal with it freezing once in awhile, which is a few times a week, it’s fine. I’m always cursing my husband out for it bc it always freezes during my shows! Lol.

Re: Direct TV Now
Can you watch different things on multiple TVs?
Does it have DVR and VOD?
Can you change channels like you do on linear tv?

Yes. It’s just like having Fios or any other cable provider. I watch what I want upstairs and other TVs are independent.
Yes to DVr (We don’t use it so I don’t know anything about it). They Do have their own demand but I find it limited. We use Apple TV more for that.

Re: Direct TV Now
Had it for about a month, its fine but the DVR sucks for me. It will record a portion of it then same episode again but a different portion of it but its not like it continues, it just doesn't make sense lol. On some shows like my Bravo trash TV works fine.

Re: Direct TV Now
I have directTV what is the differnce between direct TV and direct TV now.
DirectTV is fine the only thing I can't stand is that the app doesn't pick up my dvr correctly which drives me insane because I like to watch my shows outside my home sometimes. It worked at one point and then just stopped I tried to trouble shoot it a couple times couldn't resolve it and then haven't tried it again. Only really negative about it.

The difference is that with Direct TV you have a satellite dish and with Direct TV Now it is powered through Internet/WiFi.
