Looks like it doesn't support Roku if you were curious.

Fairly certain both apps have the same content.
HBO Now is not live. It's on demand. Is DirectvNow HBO ONLY live?
Dude, calm down. Have you tried another browser? What link are you getting on the redirect? Post it here.
Just signed up for the atv4 deal. Worked fine from safari on iOS
How much are your taxes on that?
I would be shocked if it was ever ATV3 compatible. Remember, adding a "channel" to the ATV3 is actually a full OS update.
You can, of course, AirPlay to your ATV3.

Just an FYI after speaking to a representative on chat.
Multiple streams: 2 max, don't have to be on the same network, presumably this includes mobile streams. In order to get more, have to sign up more than once, no way to buy "extra streams" like with Netflix.
Data usage: Unmetered on AT&T Internet (U-Verse & Mobile)
Recommended bandwidth per stream: 3 Mb/s recommended for HD (I'm guessing double for 2 streams). Channels are in HD.
DVR: No solid info for now. Can rewind within a channel (or watch past shows) up to 72 hours previous.
CC (Closed Captioning): Should work as expected.
I paid in advance to get the free ATV, but the Now app still says I don't have any subscriptions. WTF!

Yep. They said on the launch event that Roku will be supported soon though.
EDIT to say: does VOD on these streaming services still include commercials? if that's the case, then DVR is the only way to go. My wife and I never watch our shows live so they are always on the DVR ready for us to watch... and we can skip commercials too.
Thanks, I'll try signing up via safari / iOS
HBO is live on DTV Now. You are able to log in with your DTV Now info on HBO Go. But it looks like you can also use on demand for HBO programming.HBO Now is not live. It's on demand. Is DirectvNow HBO ONLY live?
Roku is working on a new OS. I think that might be the reason why ATT is not supporting Roku at launch.
I started streaming the movie Wolverine, I believe it was from FXX. I skipped ahead a few scenes and did get commercials. It might depend on the channel and show.
I personally find it more annoying because they show the same one a gazillion times and the volume is always twice as loud as the showthat's what I assume. And I wonder if it's like watching a show on a network's app. For instance, if you watch an On Demand show from a major network (CBS, ABC, etc.) on their app, i think you get commercials but not as many (IIRC). which is still annoying, but better than all of them.
Pay the ETF. DirecTV charges $20 per each month you have remaining on your contract. DTV Now is a separate service, so you can't just switch to it for free.So how do I get out of my direct tv contract to get on this?

I've been using the service all day and I'm blown away with how smooth it's been running. The quality is fantastic and noticeably better coming from Sling. I jumped on the free Apple TV offer with 3 month prepayment too.
Signed up for the ATV deal-- it's been about an hour an haven't gotten any sort of confirmation e-mail.
Anybody else?
