Nice programming assortment for my choices. H&I doesn't always play what is advertised, thus the main reason for a 4 star. Streaming elsewhere is very easy and doesn't require a great internet connection. I travel for work and most local channels play the same old boring stuff that caused me to switch to streaming. So, I just fire up the stream and run an HDMI cable to the TV and I'm watching what I want.

the only thing worse than the TV app is the phone app. programming constantly stops "looks like we're having trouble playing your content." this wouldn't even be a big issue if you could just refresh or change the channel then go back to your show but that doesn't work, you have to close and reopen the app to get programming back. customer service says we're so sorry, issue is on our end and we're working on it but nothing ever gets better. worst, least functional streaming app ever.

Not really great if you like football. More often then not directv does not have 4:30 games. Too expensive for what you get. More expensive than cable for similar package. I got it mostly because they have SNY which is not available with my cable company. There are always sound issues with the app on TV and phone. Occasional freezing. For the price they should at least offer what they have on demand with no ads. Will cancel after the superbowl.
