A quick update on our DIRECTV NOW experience…
We're doing our best to avoid using our cable boxes and use DTVN for any live TV, with okay results. The main issue we're running into is the same that everyone else using DTVN is running into—buffering and needing to reset the app. It's a pain. However, it also led me to hook up our HD antenna so that I could distribute it throughout the house, which has been a success. We no longer rely on DTVN or cable for anything local.
I’ll write more on us testing the cord-cutting waters when I get a bit more time.
