Roku and TV apps are coming, but not at launch.Īfter reading through the available details, getting some hands-on time with a live demo of the service, and talking to a DirecTV exec about what people should expect, here are a handful of questions you should ask yourself to to determine if DirecTV Now is something you might want to consider: 1. What Streaming Device(s) Do I Own? At launch, DirecTV Now will need a Chromecast, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire TV to be seen on the big screen in your living room. How Many People Are In My House? DirecTV Now allows for two simultaneous streams - probably enough for a single person or couple, but not likely enough for a large family. Canceling service early could cost you a lot of money in fees.

Am I In Contract With My Cable Company? You may be eager to try something new, but you might also have months left on your pay-TV contract. Depending on how much you stream, that could be a lot of data. What Wireless Carrier Do I Have? AT&T won’t charge DirecTV Now streaming video against customers’ wireless data caps, but Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and others will. However, some channels have a 72-hour flashback window and the shows you DVR should still be available via on-demand. How Much Do I Love My DVR? DirecTV Now does not currently offer traditional DVR service, like pausing of live TV. CBS is currently not included anywhere in the U.S. Where Do I Live? Local TV channels are only available in certain markets, so you may not get live access in your area. But before you take a sledgehammer to your cable box or refashion the satellite dish into a sled and/or serving bowl, there are some important things to consider. Last night, AT&T finally pulled back the veil on its long-awaited DirecTV Now streaming service, which will launch tomorrow starting at $35/month. 11.29.16 1:02 PM EDT By Chris Morran then directv now directv at&t streaming video
