There appears to have been an update just yesterday or today. My apple TV had a blue light next to the direct TV appI used and loved PS VUE for months. I was paying the $40 plan. The UI was good enough, DVR function worked well...but when Viacom channels were dropped (not blaming Sony), I had to drop it. I was sad
I took the AppleTV deal with DirectvNow and so far it has not been a good experience at all. Watching a live channel where is every few minutes it has to buffer, makes this unusable. The OnDemand works...sometimes. I have to reset the app for it to work. The channels are slow to load. That's not a big deal but the buffering and just overall buggyness not to mention the beta feel to it has me really upset.
The picture quality is certainly better than PS VUE. But that becomes irrelevant when you can't really watch a show without interruption. I really hope this is taken care of because the $35 for $60 package deal is great but what's the point if it's unwatchable. How long do I have to wait for it to be fixed? Regardless, I'm locked in for 3 months.
I've had 0 problems and it has worked absolutely perfect since then
Hopefully it stays that way
I will update if anything changes.
I would advise to everyone with direct TV now and an Apple TV, to test again after the update.
Has been working flawlessly for me all day today, when normally it tends to freeze and errors out. That is a very good sign
