    Service has been exceptional the last two nights in prime time. No hiccups or freezes whatsoever. First time this has ever happened since launch. I'm starting to get encouraged. ;)

    Good to know. Disney XD is a channel my kid watches religously. He was watching in prime time and not one stutter or glitch. Change to other channels and immediate buffering during prime time.

    $7 per receiver after the first one. Not including tax. I seriously looked at keeping my Sat tonight so I checked my Statement. I'm sure I could have the receiver fee or HD fee waived if I try and cancel. Still, with DTVN and Vue I get all channels plus two premiums and Epix Hits for $100. I'd...

    Receiver fees on my last bill, after the first receiver (I have five) is $28.

    Scott, what's new at DirecTV's booth

    If they have any connections with the DTVN team, please find out about the streaming issues, broken audio on ABC/Philly, and if NBC will be added to TV lineup. Of course also love to hear about CBS.

    As of last night, I am now a PS Vue Ultra sub and a DTVN Go Big sub and I have a feeling I will stay that way for awhile. Here is my reasoning. PS Vue $65 for 5 streams, with all my locals, NFL Network, Esqure, Boomerang (for kids lol) and HBO and Showtime. PS Vue supports most network apps for...

    The fees are ultimately what did it for me. $28 in receiver fees, plus another $10 just to watch HD. That is crazy. Added Vue so I can watch TV until DTVN get's their shtuff together.

    Are all the streams at 720p? Could certain devices be using 1080 when available? When I was watching yesterday, if it hadn't been mentioned that channels were down razzed I seriously would not have been able to tell the difference.

    I think the down rezzing is going to be here for awhile. Things are working smoothly and PQ is comparable to competitors. It would be nice if they ramped back up once they get more capacity online.

    I did just check MSNBC and see the lip sync issues. I'm not doubting the numbers but maybe a 1080i channel converted to a lower rez progressive just looks really good. Cause it looks reallly good.

    Can someone run the numbers again. My streaming issues were non-existent for the last two nights and today my PQ looks better than ever. I've very happy with how things are right now. Just fix the ABC audio issue and get NBC up and I am ditching cable. I still wonder if one of the "technical"...

    I saw that as well. I am sure the bots have no technical knowledge and are going to feed the company line. Do they think we are not watching. I am going to keep harping on this issue. It would be nice if some more tech articles would keep on them. I did notice a bit of a PQ drop.

    I did speak too soon last night. I started having instances where instead of the freezing the picture would black out for a bit then come back on. No freezes, but after a few times the app completely crashed the Apple TV. I know there has been a stated goal of 4k for Now, so hopefully they are...

    Interesting observations on the resolution. I am watching tonight on Apple TV for the first time since Friday. No freezes so far. I do hope any down rezzing is temporary. I don't want to fight the HD-Lite battles of old again.

    Yes, but that is not a problem with the service. Last weeks issue was not related to phones.
