Honestly, the only reason I pay for Direct TV Now is so my kid can get Disney Junior access and I can get AMC access. Actually it also makes watching Raw and Smackdown on USA easier then having to airplay from my iPAD using my friends cable credentials in the USA app.

So dumb the USA app has a live option on iPAD, but not on the Apple TV version.
yeah- my daughter watched some shows on Nickjr and Nick. And ps Vue doesn't have those channels anymore. But shes 4. So no way I was going back to DirectV for a stupid kids channel.

90% of those shows she can watch on youtube- which she does.

Yeah my thought process was for Sling I had to pay for the most expensive plan plus the kids pack to get everything I wanted. With Vue, it didn't have Nick, but with Direct TV now the cheapest plan comes with all the channels I want and I can use the credentials to login to the Disney apps.

If I didn't have cable credentials for fox sports go I don't know what I'd do. Picture is so good too. Higher framerate than on cable.

Yup. Great value. After a few hiccups to start, it's been great.

Same here. It has been much improved from 3 months ago.

Re: Cord cutting

For you stream service users (Sling, Vue, etc.)...how is the buffering? Is it like Netflix where it's virtually non-existent?

This would be for an internet speed of 100 mbps.

It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

I have 100 mbps and have zero buffering with Vue. Every blue moon I will get a freeze and the video has to catch back up, but it never lasts more than 5 seconds.

This is with myself and my wife both streaming on different TVs, and both on our laptops.

I was about to ask you what you do to watch baseball...look at the channel listing...and see Vue picked up MLB Network!

This is definitely what I'm going to pursue.

Yes, my TV viewing is complete with this addition. It was like Christmas morning when I saw it on the guide last week.
