Mine did that too. Anyone else who gets NBC have it not showing up in the guide? I have ABC and FOX without issue. I'm in a location that gives me NY and Philly so I should be getting NBC.
I one tot heir help site and they tell me to use chat for help. So I try to chat with someone and it says they are all busy so go to the forums for help. they are not off to a good start.
NBC will no be in the guide if your local station is not owned by NBC -- no live TV.
You will have to swipe up and find it in networks.
I have NBC in my mobile app. I should have it. Again, I am in the New York/Philly area so I get both OnO's.
[doublepost=1480554208][/doublepost]Ok, so NBC is only currently available on mobile apps. Hopefully this is corrected soon.

Yea, according to this:
http://www.theverge.com/2016/11/30/...nternet-tv-service-questions-pricing-channels
NBC isn't allowing their channels on streaming devices, just mobile apps and computers.
@DIRECTVNOWhelp on Twitter has said they are aware of the Error 60 streaming problem and are working on a fix. Pretty sloppy launch.
This article says its coming, let's hope..

Yet Google news has crap about this. Nothing just DirecTV Now has launched change watching TV useless clickbaid crap.
Any idea if non-corporate stores have this? I have a franchise store right down the street. They closed at 7, so I can't check tonight. However, I was curious if you or anyone else had heard if this was limited to corporate stores or not.
Didnt take the time to read through all the posts, but if one has a smart TV (LG) do they have an app I can download to that tv and use?
Would like to use the apple TV that I would get on my girlfriends TV which will be out in the living room but not a smart TV

Wait until it works. There is no app announced for LG, except the few LG sets that came with Roku, and that will be next year.

People are retweeting the complaints on Twitter though...
what do you mean wait until it works?
I always have a work phone which can just plug in HDMI cord to TV and play through that. so was just wondering
Doesn't work. After 10 minutes it stops playing and says you have too many streams even if you only have one.
1) I read on the Verge that 5.1 sound is available...does that mean Dolby 5.1? When I watch Netflix on my ATV4 my television has a header that says "Dolby Digital" to confirm it is working. On DirecTV Now I don't see that header...
2) Does anyone notice that the sound is WAY louder through this App? For example - on my Xbox/TiVo/etc I have to have the volume around 35. On the DirecTV Now app I only have to play it at 10. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

oh well i want to get it while the streaming service is still discounted at 35 a month hahaha
So far my view...
Not ready for prime time.

Don't see 5.1 on any channels. Honestly, I wish they'd just build an ATV app that let me stream from my genie to my ATV.

Can't stream it long enough without getting error 60 to notice the volume.
I just tried switching between DirectTV Now and Netflix and the levels seemed comparable. I have lower levels when playing back iTunes content, but that is a well-known issue.
