Don't count on it. Their network can't even seem to support nationwide streaming in regular HD, so them adding 4K or 60fps is highly unlikely any time soon.If they add the same 4K channels they have on DirecTV satellite, it will become very tempting. Well, that and making every channel 60 FPS like YouTube TV does would also help.
But with "On Demand" don't you have to sit through commercials? I can't go back to watching commercials.I signed up and got the Apple TV 4K. I had it for a year and the DVR is garbage. Like not even Beta ready. I just switched over to Spectrum streaming package since I have there internet. DVR was replaced with On Demand.
There is fine print that some programming is non-fast-forwardable. I've heard Grey Anatomy is one of them. There's no ***** way I'm paying for a DVR (or service) w/o fast-forwardability.But with "On Demand" don't you have to sit through commercials? I can't go back to watching commercials.
it lost a lot of users because the apps on iOS and Apple TV have remained broken for the past several months and they seem to have shifted resources away from these areas to focus on their own set top box.
the only thing keeping me around is the free data streaming since im an ATT customer. im very close to cancelling however. i gave playstation vue a try and their apps worked flawlessly
Their interface is terrible and they require your location in order to use the app. No thanks.
DirectTV isn't really a cord-cutting service since you have to have their satellite service.
Most TV streaming apps require this for sports blackouts and local channels. Hulu's Live TV service takes it one step further and only allows TV streaming devices (Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, etc.) from your home internet connection and you can only change your "home" 4x/year. It appears its ISP-based, but not tied to a specific IP (since many home ISPs are dynamic). Computers, tablets, and phones don't have that restriction.

DirecTV Now is a separate streaming-only service that only shares the name with traditional satellite DirecTV and its associated app.
Besides those two, AT&T also has U-verse (like cable, but IP-based based boxes in AT&T's local phone footprint), AT&T Watch TV (sort of like DirecTV Now Jr.) and it's just a messy product family.
Thats not true. I tried to get DirectTV Now and was informed by them I had to have a Dirtect TV Satellite package.
How likely do you think DirecTV is to reintroduce a similar Apple TV promo?
I'm not who you replied to, but I've been beta testing a first party "DirecTV Now" box that's built by AT&T and running Android TV. I can only imagine that doesn't bode well for them bringing back the Apple TV offer.
