Probably cheaper than an outdoor antenna and OTA DVR; definitely worth exploring. Thanks!
Probably cheaper than an outdoor antenna and OTA DVR; definitely worth exploring. Thanks!Yes with owned equipment, no contract pay as you go. Being single receiver there is no DVR fee on 211k but for dvr ability there is a 1 time $40 fee for hard drive hookup fee lifetime attached to account should hard drive fail you can replace without hookup fee again. Vip211K runs about $80 purchased + 2 gig hard drive, and expense of dish if you don't already have for owned equipment.
Under contract 2 year leased equipment the Welcome package is no longer offered unless grandfathered is my understanding. Next lowest package that includes locals is smart package for $36 month but doesn't have the missing channels you want. The $34 flex does have what you want but locals are extra. No doubt Dish has much cheaper base packages than Directv without extra fees like HD and RSN tax etc.
Mine has been working great.How has this been working on apple TV lately? Read that an update basically shut it down on that device.

Install the HBO Go app on the Apple TV.We ordered the Apple TV with the three months and have had nothing but trouble. Buffering errors and HBO on demand trouble. We start a movie and it freezes up over and over. Then it will error out and say their having trouble.
How fast is your Internet and what kind of router do you use?We ordered the Apple TV with the three months and have had nothing but trouble. Buffering errors and HBO on demand trouble. We start a movie and it freezes up over and over. Then it will error out and say their having trouble.
We've tried all the new services and I wanted this one to be it. $35 for 100 channels plus $5 HBO and $5 Cinemax is a great price. My wife and I were both willing to wait for DVR. It just seems like it's not ready at all.
We paid for 3 months so I'll hang and hope it gets better. If not then I'll cancel it.
It does OK on my iPad mini. Just freezes a little.

I did that and it works good.Install the HBO Go app on the Apple TV.
It's one of the few things that you can use your DirecTV NOW credentials to authorize, which is great because the HBO app is infinitely less problematic.
That part isn't really a mystery.Now has to figure out why this service is working great for some and not at all for others or this service will self implode.
https://www.akamai.com/us/en/about/facts-figures.jsp said:Akamai has deployed the most pervasive, highly-distributed content delivery network (CDN) with more than 216,000 servers in over 120 countries and within more than 1,500 networks around the world.
That is why they would buffer less then the other channels. Also when the Disney channels had issues on DTV also Sling and there native apps were affected too.Most of the content is distributed using Akamai, with a few exceptions (ie, Disney channels are coming from Verizon CDN endpoints).

http://www.multichannel.com/news/content/directv-now-peaking-35k-simultaneous-streams-analyst/410298The new service has peaked “about around 35,000 simultaneous viewers,” Dan Rayburn, EVP for StreamingMedia.com and principal analyst at Frost & Sullivan, noted Thursday in this blog post, citing info obtained from key third-party suppliers that deliver video for DirecTV Now.
I agree 100%http://www.multichannel.com/news/content/directv-now-peaking-35k-simultaneous-streams-analyst/410298
Now all they need to do is fix the service for the first 35,000 viewers and then they can go after the remaining 20.4 million satellite subscribers!
