I disagree about Directv being the Cadillac. I've used Directv, Comcast xfinity, and AT&T uverse. Xfinity is by far the best and it wasn't even close. Uverse was second. If you have xfinity in your area I highly recommend it. I went away from it for about five years while I tried the others and it significantly improved during that time.

DirecTV Now's competitors are Sling TV and PlayStation Vue, not the legacy providers like Comcast and AT&T. Totally different price point.
It better be a different price point or it has no reason to exist. My Vue and Internet is $75 per month tax free, less than half of what I was quoted for a promotion package with Time Warner. My Uverse promotion was nearly twice as much, and went to nearly three times as much after that ended.I see what you are saying about not being a direct competitor. However, is the price point really that different when you factor in paying for internet service? Most cable providers offer discounted bundles. If you add directv now and internet service you will probably end up with a similar price as a cable provider's bundle.
What is your internet service & package and does it have a cap? I'm moving & now Direct contract-free. Been looking at options & always thought I'd "cut the tv cord", but the internet packages are catching up.It better be a different price point or it has no reason to exist.

TW deal is $40 per mo for a year at 15 MBS (enough for my needs) and no cap. I feel like there is enough competition for internet to find an equivalent deal when needed. It's not like cable where they have to keep ahead of the growing cost of content.What is your internet service & package and does it have a cap? I'm moving & now Direct contract-free.

You can still cut the cord and get a tv antenna to watch local channels/network affilliates. Use Sling TV, Playstation Vue, etc. to supplement OTA.What is your internet service & package and does it have a cap? I'm moving & now Direct contract-free.

True. I hate how they organize channels but the new voice remote put them ahead of everyone.I'm on vacation in Park City and attempting to navigate Xfinity. It's horrible. DTV & TWC interface much easier to scroll thru than Xfinity and the remote is junk. Their channels are not synched correctly and a total cluster f#. Good luck trying to memorize Xfinity.
Most people these days already have internet service. If that's the case, it doesn't really factor in the price decision.I see what you are saying about not being a direct competitor.

I hear ya. Same thing happens to me on vacation. You don't really get how good Directv's guide channel is until you have to use something else. When I'm away, I probably miss that guide more than anything else in my house.I'm on vacation in Park City and attempting to navigate Xfinity. It's horrible.

I have a Slingbox in each house, and can watch TV remotely from the Slingbox apps on phone, table, and laptop. Slingbox, not Sling TV.I hear ya. Same thing happens to me on vacation.

SlingTV and Playstation Vue are great but I won't subscribe to anything I can't use with my TiVo.

Agree. I'm surprised, but I don't miss my DVR. Plus the streaming providers are starting to offer DVR in the cloud. So, one more reason for hold outs to leave traditional cable and satellite, with their onerous contracts, in the scrap heap of history.Not being smarty here, but between Netflix and the on-demand options for almost every provider out there, what's the real advantage of a TiVo or DVR at this point? The few television shows that I consider "must see" each week that come on after my relatively early bedtime all can be watched the next day (or the day after) at a more reasonable hour through the normal on-demand library on Sling. Other than live programming or the network shows that come OTA, I don't think I miss anything. What am I missing?
Good question. I don't take it as you being a smart-Alec. In all seriousness, it boils down to sports and timely access to content. There's nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, that I watch live. I even DVR all sporting events and start them late second half so I can skip commercials. I spend FAR less time in front of a TV than someone who doesn't have a DVR. If one's time isn't considered a premium then no biggie. Two things I like about TiVo:Not being smarty here, but between Netflix and the on-demand options for almost every provider out there, what's the real advantage of a TiVo or DVR at this point?

You gotta have a subscription to ESPN thru a cable/satellite/steaming company until ESPN offers a la carte subscriptions.Kind of brain dead right now, so help me ballpark something- I would like to have abc,cbs, nbc, be able to use watchespn and netfix. Charter is my internet provider. What's that gonna cost me per month?
Thx- I think espn screws it up for me.You gotta have a subscription to ESPN thru a cable/satellite/steaming company until ESPN offers a la carte subscriptions.
That's why one of the "big providers" still has me by the balls.You gotta have a subscription to ESPN thru a cable/satellite/steaming company until ESPN offers a la carte subscriptions.
