Cancelled it. I didn't mind lack of DVR though. What killed it for me was the fact that it didn't qualify as a valid "DirecTV" sign-on for the channels on the Apple TV. Like if you downloaded an App on the Apple TV in the App Store, the Directv Now sign-on wouldn't get you access. Only the real satellite Directv does.

The list of supported Apps has grown quite a bit. Of course you have to use Durectv Now as the provider. However, still does not support single sign on.

Direct TV now has been great for us the last 3 months .. definitely keeping it .. and HBO GO for $5 month was awesome deal!
 
Dropping it this wknd. as I mainly got it for the ATV4 freebie, even the grandfathered go big rate won't cause me to stay on.

If anyone is ditching a grandfathered go big account and wants to make some extra cash shoot me a message. I've been using sling but just can't justify the $60 a month.
 
I've decided to hang onto mine for another few months. It works so much better than the DirecTV app, and so much more consistently! And since I'm now getting HBO free on my DirecTV account due to my unlimited plan, is not costing much more.
 
Still got mine. About ready to dump regular Directv. $35 + $12 Hulu unlimited just about does the trick.

The 3 months is about up for people who signed up for Dtv Now to get the free AppleTV.

Who's keeping it? I'm debating going back to Sling cause IMO DirecTV Now is awful.
VOD is broken and garbage, aired programs aren't available for a week or more and the VOD channels actually disappear. I couldn't get past FYI last night before the list went back to "A"

Over the weekend 1/3 the guide went blank and AMC was blank during The Walking Dead which means you couldn't easily turn in. I figured out a work around but it was a pain in the butt and missed half the show.

No fix in sight and Customer Service basically tells you "peace out" when you tell them you will leave if they don't fix their service.

Are you still looking for an account I have 2 and may be leaving one. It would be a shame for it to go to waste.

I'm sure DVR will come soon- at least I hope- but honestly I would rather get local channels for local news and stuff

Requires some extra equipment and apps, but I'm really happy with my OTA antenna, HDHomerun, and the Channels app on apple tv. Works really well, and never have to worry about the internet being down or anything like that.
 
I dropped it a little while ago. I just couldn't get used to the UI.
I've since gotten Hulu / No commercials / LiveTV /DVR and like it much much better and will probably be dumping regular DirecTV at the end of this month.
I wanted to give HuluTV a good 30 days before making a decision.

That'll be another $249 / month staying in my account now.
