I just read up on this a bit and it seems like DTV is trying come up with a rival PS Vue. The introductory offer is super low at $35/month for over 100 channels and that shoots up to $60/mo if you miss the promo. Also, HBO is only an additional $5/mo. I think it's $11.99 with regular DTV, so that's a plus.

Where they lost me though is no DVR function. Aside from sports I really don't watch anything live, so a DVR is a must for me. I guess I'm going to stick to my $150/mo DTV for now, but I'm always on the lookout for another alternative.

Here's the article I read if you want to look into it for yourself: http://www.theverge.com/2016/11/30/1...icing-channels
