• How Long Should It Take To Download A Movie On Directv

Mar 15, 2017. BOTTOM LINE: DIRECTV NOW wants to be the best of both worlds for traditional TV and streaming video, but it ends up tripping over its own feet. However, despite its flaws, DIRECTV NOW does have potential. Watch our video review below or read on to get our take on the new streaming service. DIRECTV NOW℠ is your NEW standalone streaming service for Live TV and On Demand entertainment. Enjoy news, sports, events, and shows as they air. Your favorite TV series and movies can be accessed anywhere, anytime. Looking for instant access to TV with no annual contract? You're one click away from breaking. I am not aware of any product that will 'boost' your internet speed. However, with 5mbps you should NOT have to wait 6 hours or more for an HD movie. For those speeds it should be at the most 3 hours for a 2 hour movie. Which means that you should be able to start watching in about 20 minutes.

This app is available only on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

My feedback

No matter how many times we have chatted with a directv agent, the problems are not resolved or they take almost 8 to 12 months to fix. Trying to record a series, so you don’t have to look up your favorite show every week, is impossible. This feature DOES NOT WORK!!! Can’t get any of the “ now” program from ABC, only have the “TV Show” option & can’t record any of that AT ALL!! Have to wait till the next day to see any of your favorites & even then, sometimes had to wait 2 to 3 days before I can see any of the shows. They also don’t have all the shows showing on that channel. When you delete a program that you have watched, the food luck because you will have to delete it at least 5 more times before it actually is removed. Another problem, you get shows recording that YOU DID NOT CHOOSE!! Go figure.... another one is where you have shows set up to record & THEY DON’T RECORD..... they just DISAPPEAR!!!!......MAGIC..... I think not!! If these things can be fixed that would be greatly appreciated other wise please please STOP SAYING/ADVERTISING THAT IT IS JUST LIKE WATCHING REGULAR TV SHOWS....IT IS NOT! Thank you, RYH

Good alternative, but not perfect

Having used this service for the last 12 months, there’s been good and bad. The good is that for the most part, it works well 90% of the time. The package offers me the channels I want at a reasonable price. But in the last year my service has increased by $20/month. If it keeps on increasing, I will look elsewhere.
I like I can access the service on-line where I travel. The HD quality is good most of the time. But there are frequent times it switches from SD to HD...very irritating! I’ve also experienced way to much buffering when I may lose a picture for a couple of seconds or up to minutes where I have to exit the application and re-enter it for it to work.
In the end, I wanted to cut the cable and this provided a viable option. However, with more like services available, DirectNow needs to up their game and improve their service and not continue to raise prices.

Not good , not bad

This app is very very mediocre, tons of ads and glitches, but it does work. I love watching shows on here but there is this glitch that makes all my shows in Spanish ? There is no way to fix it (my language is all set in English so i have no idea why this happens) so when it happens i have to completely dump the show, or find another way to watch it. this is extremely frustrating because there’s literally no way to fix it. Nobody can help. It’s so annoying. Mad that I even payed for this but whatever. There’s also a feature where show episodes will sometimes be visible and watchable and sometimes not, and you’ll have to wait till a certain date. Or the episodes will delete themselves after a period of time and you’ll have to watch from episode 46. Anyway, would I recommend this to a friend? No. Am I still gonna use it? Not a lot.
