'DirecTV Now' Offering 32GB Apple TV 4K at No Cost When Signing Up for 4-Month Service at $140 [Updated]

[csurfr]

Thanks for the update. I was a Saturday AM order and have not seen or heard a thing since registration. Luckily, the original order details show the Apple TV 4K.

ETA: My FedEx Delivery Manager shows a new shipment from DirecTV arriving tomorrow.

Lucky guy! I'm (not so)patiently waiting for any kind of status from DirecTV. . .

So ATT definitely messed something up.
I went into an ATT store to sign up this past Friday and left with an Apple TV.
Which brings me to this email I got a few minutes ago.

I agreee. I’ve had my ATV that I got from ATT almost a week now, and today I get this email.

Ok, I'm confused by your post. Did you choose to leave Vue because the ATV version was limited? Or because the same service you had on the ATV isn't going to have a parallel app on the Xbox?

What did you feel were the limitations of Vue on ATV, btw?

Ps Vue works well on a PS4. That it. And its app that is limited on platforms. Then once you factor in pricing and selection there no comparison. Especially since im on the $35 launch promo for dtvnow.

After 4 days with it we decided to cut the Vue service. A few less channels than DTVN for $5 more. The guide is awkward and non-intuitive. The picture was good, and I think it only had a couple of buffer delays, but we're still cutting it.

The guide is good for the Japanese/ Asian market. In japan the X and O on the DualShock is swapped.

Well, my ATV4K will arrive on Wednesday. I've had problems with the stream. I contacted them today. DirecTV apologized and credited me $50.00 back on what I paid. I guess I get an Apple TV 4K for 100.00. . . Too bad I can't stream in HD even with a 20MB connection. Funny that Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon all stream 4K over the same line without issue.

What were the issues, no picture at all or??

The streams just don’t look good. They certainly don’t look 1080p.

Watching the game tonight on NBC, the score and nbc logos are blurry, dare I say pixelated.

I have ordered mine. It was delivered yesterday. It’s a great deal. I got rid of my expensive xfinity. I did notice the individual network apps have better clarity than the directv now app.

If you are looking for some extra $ savings. E bates has $16 cashback for Apple 4K with directvnow. It’s valid till 1/1/18

If you are not a member use below to get additional $10

I signed up on Friday. Never received an email in reference to my ATV. No shipping info, or anything, and it was delivered yesterday (Tuesday). What a nice surprise.
