Direct tv now sucks, I did the one month and got a fire stick free. Now that the month has ended I have cancelled and went back to sling. Just like the person in this article said, it has buggy issues. I have gig byte internet speed and all my direct tv now did was buffer, and it got worse when I changed the channels from the guide or in general. Every time I changed the channels I got a channel whose sound was off it sounded like chipmunks on speed, and the channel's program was speed up, to where you couldn't understand it, or when you looked at it it was as if you were fast forwarding a program with the sound on. Also I couldn't get it to work right on my computer as well. Now with that being said they have an awesome channel line up, plus they are the only streaming service that offers elrey, and chiller channels in their top package, the other providers offer either elrey or chiller and not both. If direct tv ever gets their bugs out I might come back for that factor, but just for the fact of losing out on one channel to deal with technical issues, and never being able to watch tv for a service you pay, is not worth it. I recommend staying away from direct tv now, you will see several complaints on them in Facebook forums, and all over the web. I think they should of took their time and fixed these issues before ever launching. I will also say one other thing is that Direct tv now doesn't have a help service, their chat service never works, I waited a half hour on a chat line to reach someone to only get an error message after that timeframe, that says that the only way to communicate is through the direct tv now forum, which they also never answer. Also if you call direct tv, the representatives their act like they don't know what you are talking about, and what direct tv now is, but they try to sell you direct tv equipment and programming through direct tv, so you don't get any customer service at all. I feel sorry for the people that paid three months to get an apple tv, yeah they got an apple tv, but they don't have a tv provider to watch it on that doesn't buffer or have sound issues, they could of bought the device cheaper somewhere else, and then had vue, or sling. Trust me direct tv is not worth the free device, while i do like my fire stick, and am enjoying it as well , between my roku, and fire tv, I am happy with sling for now. I am interested to see hulu's deal when they come out though. hopefully they won't have bugs like direct tv now, but from what I heard they are taking their time to get everything right on launch day, so we will see about hulu than.
