    DIRECTV NOW LAUNCH

    I am wondering if DirecTV Now's social media support is based overseas. "@chertrek Since it is in the begging faze of the launch, we will be adding more channels to our packages. Please stay tuned for more updates" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    I'm sure DirecTV development team has a bunch of Roku devices with the latest OS. Roku is also working with their top channels on app development.

    Kind of funny Root Sports isn't included.

    Correct, but that control comes at a cost. Cloud DVR will be coming, though.

    Almost any provider inserts their own ads instead of showing every ad broadcast by a channel. Streaming services allow for targeted ads that are inserted during a regular commercial break

    Significant cost to install a dish and provide a receiver. People don't seem to realize that. DirecTV Now and Sling leave it to the consumer to provide their own equipment, which is why these services can operate on lower margins.

    The PlayStation Vue Thread

    Wish Vue offered Fox Sports SportsTime Ohio in Northeast Ohio. Only thing holding me back from Vue right now. Sling is tempting, but I would need a couple of add-on packs to match what Vue offers for the same price.

    Sling TV Tests Fox-Anchored Multi-Stream Service

    Is FXX just on-demand or live? Does it include The Simpsons?

    Roku unveils hybrid streaming box

    A regular Roku box will work with Comcast by the end of the year. Charter/Time Warner Cable are moving to IP delivery. Also, why should satellite be exempted from the set-top standard.

    Fox and Disney want to sell their own web TV bundle, via Hulu, for $40 a month

    If you could get A&E, AMC, Discovery, Turner, and Viacom channels, plus FOX networks and Disney/ESPN for $35, that would be a good deal.

    The PlayStation Vue Thread

    Haven't tried Sling yet, but tried Vue for a week. The picture is softer than what I've had with U-Verse and Time Warner Cable.

    Does Sling have the alternates?

    Sling TV Tests Fox-Anchored Multi-Stream Service

    FOX owns YES now. When was the last time FOX re-upped with Dish?

    The PlayStation Vue Thread

    Problem is people are not actually seeing it in their lineups once they sign up. Or if they are getting the channels, live pro sports are blacked out, even if they are in the local team's broadcast area. There is a large thread in the official PlayStation forums about this.
