  1. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I recently dropped Directv and went full time YTTV. In the past few years, I did the vacation hold from February thru August and used YTTV. When it was time for NFLST, I would call and get the discount of $40 to $50 Discount for 12 months on Directv. Despite that discount, still saved quite a...
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I just cancelled and the return process was smooth. Once you call & cancel they will explain the process. Basically, you will get an email with instructions, a day or 2 after the call. It states "We've received your request to disconnect your DIRECTV service and are sorry to see you go. Now that...

    I agree with you that YTTV works fine with no buffering and a excellent picture quality. For the past few years, I've been switching from DirecTV during the NFL season, to YTTV in the off season. By putting DirecTV on vacation hold for 6 months. Now that DirecTV will no longer carry NFL ST...

    You can watch the attached video to see how to maneuver around the YTTV guide on Roku. You can skip the into and watch the Live Guide Basics. You will see that the arrow keys and select button is used a lot. youtube tv navigating - Google Search

    I've been switching to YTTV during the NFL offseason and suspending DTV for 6 months for the past few years. I also have Roku, but mainly use another option, my TV's YTTV app. One thing you might consider to make changing channels on YTTV, if you have plans to purchase a new TV. On my LG OLED...

    Glad that NFLST is going to YTTV. It's been my go-to in the NFL offseason, after putting DTV on vacation hold for 6 months. One thing I'll miss, if they don't have it on YTTV, is the Mix Channels for the game. I know you can do a version of this on NFLST on a PC or laptop. But its not the same...

    Until this was resolved today, Directv had an extra channel 4-9 in the Dallas market. Warning of the chance that Fox would be shut off.
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Called back in September when my $50/mo discount was going to drop off. They offered $30/mo for 12 months, asked for renewal of $50/mo. Ended up with $40/mo discount for 12 months plus $12.25 off NFL ST for 6 months. As I've done in prior years. After NFL season ends, will suspend Directv...

    Just wondering if you had YTTV prior to them offering 4k? I had it with 4K option and the picture quality was excellent.
  10. DIRECTV Programming
    For a couple years, after the NFL season ended, I put Directv on a 6 month vacation hold. Then subscribed to YouTubeTV for that 6 month period. It was a substantial savings during that period. And YTT had some things I liked better than DirecTV. Last year, DirecTV gave me a $50/mo credit for...

    The DTV App doesn't have PIP option in Android. Although you can use the "Pop Up" or "Split Screen" option on Android to watch while surfing. Use Multi window and App pair shortcuts on your Galaxy phone Also, I like to use the Android "Smart View" option to create a PIP on my LG OLED TV that...
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I just logged into the old app and it connected fine. I haven't found any issues with the new app and overall its has improved. The time to load a live stream is much quicker. And I am able to get all my local channels, where I wasn't able to live stream some of them on the old app.
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yes, I am getting the same message. It is a bit disappointing, but overall the new app is so much better than the old one.
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yes, I have the old Choice Extra package and the bill includes all those fees.
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I've been waiting for Directv to fix their app so it wasn't so cumbersome and slow to access access live streaming services. I still had the old app, which never was updated. So glad to see this post, so I could downland the new version. Now works as well as other live streaming service such...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I've had Directv service for 13 years, mainly to get NFL ST. Once AT&T took over, I haven't been able to get any substantial discounts. So the last few years, after the NFL season ends, I've been suspending my account for 6 month of the year. And during that suspension period, I switch to...

    After reading through this thread and checking ESPN site. It sounds like NHL CI package doesn't really exist any longer. You just subscribe to ESPN+ for $59.99/yr ($69.99 -$10 discount that's available). And the NHL out of market games are included now.

    You might be able to use the apps for a short time. At some point it will ask you to reverify the app and then you will lose access. If you switch to YouTubeTV or another streaming service that has that network. Then you can use the apps.

    Call and tell them you want to suspend the account for up to 6 mo's, since you will be traveling, etc. They put the account on hold and might bill you $7/mo. When the time is up, it automatically turns back on and billing starts. And if you want to start service before the 6 months. You can...

    I was offered a similar deal, no free NFL ST offered. I think they prefer the 12 monthly credits so you have to remain a customer for a year. I typically put DTV on vacation hold 6 mo's after the NFL season and subscribe to YouTubeTV for 6 mo's. Which saves me about $600/yr. If I do that...
