Im sure most of you have heard of "Directv Now" streaming service that just came out but in case you haven't.
I have been a diehard cable cutter. I have WOW internet($25 a month), Netflix 4K($12 a Month), Antenna, Kodi, and Amazon Prime which is hard to count because we mainly use it for shipping and video game benefits.
Just recently At&T and Directv released their new TV streaming service. Their promotional pricing is $35 for 100+ channels and the price stays with you as long as you stay with them. Also if you prepay 3 months up front you get a 4th gen apple tv which costs $150 normally, so essentially no risk.
The big thing keeping me from services like Sling and Vue were no local sports. "Directv Now" has CSN so i will be able to get blackhawks games now.
Here are the downfalls that i know of right now:
- Only 2 TVs can stream at once
- No DVR
- No CBS but they are in negotiations with them
- Limited pausing capabilities for live TV
- No Showtime option
- Something is up with ABC with it being Live
- Currently only works on Apple TV, Fire TV, and Chromecast
Other cool things:
-If you have AT&T cell service, you can stream without it counting against your data.
-HBO only costs an extra $5 a month
I was convinced and got 3 Months. Ill give it a try tonight.
