Yeah, it seems to be having trouble on the server end right now. East coasters getting home and hammering the service, I bet. Give it a few days before panicking.
Got a tip for us?

I'd love to try this, but alas, SNY (the Mets channel) is not one of the included channels. It's not on Sling TV, either. I'm betting that Comcast will never allow SNY to be streamed; if that happened, a ton of NY/NJ people would ditch cable tomorrow.
Now it won't me login in to my other ATV4. I keep getting this message.

And now my second error of the night. I am only using one stream, and keep getting this error.
Is this for real?
If I don't get **********ing NBC on the Apple TV I'm going to be livid.
[doublepost=1480552949][/doublepost]Pretty terrible launch day. I've been selling the wife, parents, and others on this for weeks.
Unusable on AppleTV tonight. Not happy.
It keeps saying that my account's maximum number of streams are already playing content. Please end one of your streams. Except for I am only using one stream. The only thing that fixes this is exiting the app completely. And going back in it. Reminds me of my Sling experience....
How would Automator be setup?
It seems crazy that they don't support HTML5 for both Safari and IE.
You can't download apps on a 3rd generation Apple TV. You need a 4th generation.
So far it does sort of remind me of Sling and the issues I had watching during prime time hours. If I put it on a channel like freeform. No issues. I try a more popular channel like CNN, CMT. Immediately I keep having issues afterwards. Put it back on a channel no one watches. No issues. I will give them a pass for now since the service just launched.
Lol CNN has no viewership left. That's not the issue, I assure you.
I'm constantly getting the same error message in Ohio). I've restarted app and Apple TV and closed all DIRECTV tabs on browser and keep getting this every few minutes. Tried contacting them via twitter, but no reply yet. Service seems good when it works, just constantly crashing. I have Sling currently and at least doing the free trial.
Can you airplay from a phone to an ATV3, or is the airplay blocked?
[doublepost=1480555841][/doublepost]Also, is the video on demand only 5 episodes back like Hulu or is it full seasons?

Seeing multiple errors here in Nor Cal. Disappointing but maybe not surprising.
I hope they fix it soon!

My lady friend loves watching Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Anybody know why it shows as being part of the cheapest plan. But not on any of the more expensive plans? I got the "Go Big" like most of us for $35. But I found online on their site, only the cheapest plan includes Hallmark Mysteries & Movies. Is that just a temporary mistake? Again, I know most people here won't be watching that, but my lady friend asked. And I find that so odd.
Seems like a lot of trouble I am having tonight. Now it just pauses my live tv and eventually goes to a blank screen stating that whatever I am watching cannot be watched at this time. Please try back later. QP0.
I know I can still keep this service and get a free Apple TV. But it seems like it isn't worth it if I am going to have this many issues.

Yea and on the Fire TV I get Error 40 which means my device is rooted which is not.
Service sucks bad. Will be canceling if it does not improve before my renew date.
I hooked my ATV4 again and all I get is a black screen.
I am not sure whether I am keeping the Directv service. Thank god I didn't cancel Vue just yet. I gave up watching Directvnow tonight. Switched back to Vue, and having no issues.
I have Sling TV paid for three months thank goodness I did that. Vue I would not consider after they dropped the Viacom channels which are the most watched.
I tried it out for a few hours then went and subscribed. No issues with still being offered the Fire Stick for one month or ATV 4 for three months paid in advance. I went for the Fire Stick since I was going to get one anyway.
It did state my paid subscription would not begin till my trial offer was up... a week from now. But my Fire Stick should still be here in 2-3 weeks.

Likewise. Also getting an error 60. We're allowed two simultaneous streams but I've only been using one device at a time thus far. Had no issues at work with Chrome. Came home, tried the app on both iPad Air 2 and iPhone 7, got the error 60's a couple of times despite one stream. When the streams were working, the quality would be fine for a minute or so, then go to crap (easily noticeable if there is any text on screen, like a channel watermark), then be fine again, then freeze. Day One is gonna have some speed bumps no doubt.
