PlayStation Vue Among Nearly 500 TV Providers Supporting Single Sign-on in iOS 11 GM

[schlitzz]

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but this doesn't seem like single sign on. The message in the dialog box in the above post says that you have to sign into each app individually after selecting DIRECTV Now as your TV provider.

Single sign on works, once you download and sign in. You don’t really sign in on each app, even though you click on it. You’re linking the apps, and it only happens once.

And practically no local competition. Go figure.

Pretty awesome, but the only problem is I cannot sign-in to MULTIPLE TV providers! How could Apple miss this ability?!

Seems so...

Are you on iOS 11? I'm not seeing directv now on iOS 10.

I have Playstation Vue for the apple TV and I love it! Signed on to many apps, including ESPN, and it has been the best TV experience I have had. Highly recommended.

still no DirecTV Now. Maybe they are waiting for their big redesign and update later this year before they roll out support.

Every beta update, I would check to see, and based on this new list, it isn't happening...

Couldn't agree more. Happy PS Vue customer here too. Do not miss traditional cable one bit.

Are you using iOS 11? I don't have DIRECTV Now as an option for my TV Provider for SSO in 10.3.3.

In fact, as of about a week ago, DIRECTV Now has disappeared as an option under "Other Providers" in all the Disney apps when I'm trying to authenticate with my DIRECTV Now credentials on any device running iOS 10.3.3. DIRECTV Now support said they're aware of the problem but it has not been fixed yet. I'm hoping that updating to iOS 11 will allow me to select DIRECTV Now as my SSO provider so we can authenticate in the Disney apps again.

Yep. And they have their own areas of service. We don’t get the option of changing providers.
