2. Also where’s Jeff?

3. Where is Jeff?

4. How much is the delay compared to live TV from cable/satellite?

   • Knunez I would say like 2-3 minutes. It’s not as much of a delay as
     Playstation Vue.

5. Can you use this outside of the US? Probably with a VPN or Proxy, but
   signing up?

6. i have regular DirecTV already

7. What happen to the production value? Seems like youtube start up video

8. Does Siri’s search function work with the DirecTV Now?

   • Jarrett Moering Nope.

9. @7:23 you referred to DirecTV as hbonow

10. a video made by Zac, ’tis the season for holiday miracles!

11. How long is the promotion for? Anyone know?

    • Jonathan Potopovich they haven’t mentioned how long, but they did say in an
      email that even if you sign up with the promo, the prices will increase if
      they want it to increase. So even if you get it for $35 now, chances are
      that they’ll increase the price soon on you maybe without even telling you.
      I Read it on an email.

12. If you already have DirecTV can you access DIRECTVNOW?

    • Dan Valdivia no but DIRECTV has an app which is pretty much the same

13. It’s ok lots things missing..

14. A step in the right direction

15. Is DVR service, possibly similar to PS Vue, likely coming anytime soon?
    What is the minimum recommended Internet speed? Nice to see some
    competition building for the streaming services.

16. Do you need to have at&t for the free Apple TV?

    • Noah Zimmerman hi. No you don’t. I have spectrum , I ordered the 3 month
      service and they are sending me an apple tv. I actually was going to get
      the Apple tv anyway. The service seems good for being new. Btw I also have
      psvue and have had sling.

17. The picture quality and sound is 10x better than sling tv. HBO added is for
    $5 and you can sign in to HBO Go app.
