I'm not going to be home for a couple of hours, so I'll going to try it then. (Hoping things might be clear then) I might try the the hobo go app & see if I can log in with my Direct tv credentials.
I've been with DirecTV since 1999. Have yet to get a loyalty "anything" (except for fees and service cost increases).
Oh wow, that's cool.
I just checked that page about three weeks there was just a handful at that point. That's a big jump; and it has Sprout (my son's favourite).
Will bookmark the page. Thanks!
The email I received doesn't have a date.
The only thing the FAQ discuses is effective dates. No dates for current HBO subscribers that received the free ATV. Others on reddit have a thru date mentioned in the body of the email, which I assume is people not subscribed to HBO.

I cancelled my DIRECTV Now service today. Still too many problems with the service (buffering, freezing, guide broken), which is a shame since I think the idea is great for someone like me who doesn't watch a lot of TV.
I sold my ATV that I got for prepaying for 3 months so didn't cost me anything (besides some frustration) to try it out.

Just checked the directvnow at&t forums and according to some posts is seems that they will be adding the in about 24h, so I guess we will have to wait and see. Also tried the HBOGO login but it's not working yet.

edit: Just checked and that date also shows under the 'Existing Paid Subscriber w/o HBO' section.
That's great, and also not the question I asked of the poster I replied to. It also doesn't list a date for those of us that have HBO and received the ATV.From the FAQ:
This is great for me. When DTVN started up and HBO was only $5/mo with Go access I cancelled my HBO Now account that I was paying $15/mo for and signed up for DTVN so it was effectively only costing me $25/mo for all of the extra stuff. Another $5/mo off for the next year sounds awesome. I might just add Starz to the package.
I for one will keep DTV Now at the end of my 3 month trial period.
Was able to get the promo price and added HBO and Cinemax for $10.
With the wifi stream we've actually been watching slightly more TV than we used to with U-Verse.

Been thinking the same. Would only be $3/extra vs what we were already paying. So HBO and Starz for $8?? Yes, please.

That's because it varies for everyone in that situation. It will be 12 months AFTER the three month required subscription is completed.
Edit: So if you're past the three month required date, the promo will end on 3/7/18.

I was simply asking the guy a question about a date being stated in his email. Jesus, let it go.
What is this magic you speak of? I was unaware I had access to NBC. How do I get NBC on DirecTV Now?
Just curious about the context of this comment... I read it as "AT&T just gave its customers something extra at no cost, and I used to defend them, but no more."
I'm sure there's more to your assessment...
That was the same for me - HBO was listed as an unsubscribed network on the DirecTV Now app last night and I couldn't log into HBO GO, but this morning I was able to log into HBO GO with no issues. I don't know that I'll actually use it, but it's a nice perk either way.
There still doing the Apple TV promo - thought that expired.Signed up this past weekend, got a free Apple TV, and now I'm getting a loyalty bonus for my three days of service. Thanks AT&T
Seriously, I'm pretty happy with the service so far. No issues.
Yes. They used to have great service and seemed to care about their customers though people would complain and I never understood what they were talking about. But I have experienced firsthand how little they but I have experienced firsthand how little they actually care about their customers and there is literally never not a problem with the bill. They're always trying to sneak in some charge or there some other issue that needs a couple hours on the phone to get resolved.
