Great video! I have been wanting to cut the cord from Cable TV for a while and go with all ROKU, Apple TV devices but my wife is Technology challenged. Direct TV Stream is as close as you can get to the standard Cable TV experience while cutting the cord. With cloud DVR it's perfect for our needs.

I've tried them all and they all have their pros and cons. If you're looking to save money DTV is probably not for you. Sling might be a better choice. But if you want a cable like experience( I do mostly) then this is a good option.

Thank you for the feed back

I just ordered my DirectTV Stream yesterday - Ordered 3 refurbished boxes. for Living Room, Bed Room and Man Cave basement - Looking forward to cutting the cable. Got the Ultimate Bundle $109.99 140+ Channels. Well done demo, glad it is working out for you. I did keep Comcast for my internet. Gary from Michigan. 🚂

After YEARS of being a cable customer I finally cut the cord starting in Feb because they simply priced me out of the market ($174 just for cable. Seriously Mediacom?) And I'm so glad I did as I'm going to save over $100 a month. I tried YT TV for a month and then switched to DTV Stream this month. And I'm very pleased with it. the guide and DVR functions are very close to my cable experience with TIVO. YTTV probably has a better channel lineup, but they seriously need to work on their guide and DVR functions.

I've had Direct TV Stream now for almost a year. We will be ditching it and moving on to something else, because for us it just sucks too much. Here is a list of what you can expect in the real world: 1) The cost: they bring you in on an introductory price (one year for us) and then the price goes up substantially. Now why would you penalize a loyal customer and give a new subscriber a deal? Not very fair and a 'F-U attitude'. 2) Your watching a show, you pause it to do something hoping to come back a pick up where you left off and surprise, it drops the show and goes to real time streaming. Very frustrating. 3) Recorded shows don't always end at exactly the correct time. The show might have another 5 minutes to go to the end of the episode. Too bad, it cuts you off before you've seen the end of the show. Frustrating. 4) They will discontinue various shows from your original package, not tell you until you figure out that you can't get a certain show anymore. WTF? I paid for it, now I don't get it anymore? (and your price doesn't get lower either) 5) You set it to record only new shows, but frequently it records older episodes 2 and 3 times. 6) You don't get unlimited recording UNLESS you pay for it extra. It only comes with 25 hours of recording space. 7) And then sometimes you try to record a show you want to watch (which you can watch it in real time) and it gives you a notice that this show can't be recorded because it's not part of your plan. WTF? If the show wasn't in my package, then how the heck am I getting it at all? Doesn't make sense. NOTES: This is what I have personally experienced. Yours may be different. But for me with the cost increase, I'm ditching them. Not worth the money. I really like to record the local broadcasting shows and be able to skip through the commercials. I think we're going to head towards Tivo. Yes, it costs money to buy the setup, but I figure I'll break even in just a few months and then be ahead of the game. PS - I do have antenna, which I already have in case of power outages.

Hi Great video review I live mostly in UK but have a US apt with DirectV installed - I have a VPN in UK so how can i get the Directv app on my UK firestick please thanks

If I have a Smart TV...you would recommend using the DirecTV APP on the TV? Are there any disadvantages to using the APP? loss of functions?

How many TVs can I use simultaneously if I pay for the package that includes the regional sports channels? My house has usually three Televisions going at the same time. Are multiple devices part of the regular price?

Great video…… our Internet service is 5G Home Internet service T-Mobile. Will this work with Stream DIRECTV ? Thx

Please talk about video output, 1080p/i, 4k content and audio (5.1, Atmos), ARC/eARC, etc...

I've had direct tv for ever but it's pricey. Where can I see the different packages and programing for the direct tv streaming. Also will I be able to record multiple programs? And iam assuming if my internet not reliable then when it goes out direct tv will go UT too.

I have direct TV streami, is expensive for the cheaper package.. Just I need a locals channels and that's it any advise?

Do you get local channels with their side channels?

For future reference when ever u do a review on the box spec it out test the drop frame see if it can handle plex and game on it the price on the box is 120 like Nvidia Tegra x android box so use that as your starting point

I just suscribed with the offer $79.99 for the first 3 months then $89.99. I only watch sports :( I need NESN and CBS to watch the Pats. I live in the Boston Area. Is there any option for me?

Do I get my local channels? Does it have surround sound? Does it have gb network?

I had Direct TV Stream for a week and got rid of it. The set up and boxes were new and nice but to pay those prices and not even get premium channels after 3 mos was a rip off. I now have Spectrum TV with all the premium channels plus internet paying same price for just Direct TV Stream alone. If you are going to pay, make it worth it!

Debating switching to this from U-verse. I’m mostly a channel surfer and don’t know if I can take the lagginess compared to the instant channel changing with U-verse.

Do u have ads

Everttime I turn my direct tv stream on it makes my wifi go out on all devices any help would be appreciated

For 104 a month I get hbo in this I had mine for 3 months now and I like the sports

Super box is the best tv 📺 box

I just became a new customer with DirecTV stream. The question I have is, I was told by the representative that I had to commit to a 12-month contract for the streaming service. However I could cancel within 14 days. Did I get taken?

Direct tv is great been paying 25 bucks a month for 7 years already with 100 plus channels.

Which package has the Dodger games

I just started the trial of the service and cannot get any programs to record. Doesnt work on browsers or any of my devices (iPad, iPhone, AppleTV, etc). Customer service is absolute garbage. Such a shame as I was really excited to try it...

Just ordered stream Gemini air can’t wait my spectrum internet and cable was $140.82 no thanks.

At&t Sales Rep here, the device is called the “gemini air” and we actually don’t sell that one anymore, we still have the remote but the device looks like a chromecast and goes behind your tv. Downgrade imo.

As of 2022-23 I think UKposts TV is number one in streaming tv. The channels are what every cord cutter wants in news, locals, and entertainment. There’s great ad ons too . The only con that I have with the service is they run out or commercials and they just stop with the commercials and just put on a well be right back with water noise. For me is not cable like but I try to work around it.

Dont ever signed up for a streaming service if 1. Do not know what is streaming. 2. You have not called or talk to someone when it comes to channels. 3. Too demanding for a perfect streaming service 😝😝😝

No 4K content?

I've been a directv customer for over 20 years. That fact excludes me from switching to DirecTV Streaming and getting free unlimited cloud dvr. So my question is, since this box has a high speed usb port, can I use that port for an external drive to record the shows the same as a cloud dvr?

Directv or any other cable service will go up, plus the fact you get charged for dvr how many tvs you connect to plus broadcast fee and regional sports fees. So the new promotion pushed me to $150 a month tv/internet. I still currently have directv but will be changing, have dropped to the entertainment package but I do some sports channels I want so will be changing. BTW with all thats been said thru the demo you still have to make a decision on internet,,, streaming services dont include internet in their prices. The directv stream does look like a better feel for channel surfers but it is $20-$30 more than other stream services. My thoughts are to first try youtube stream as it does give the actual local channels compared to some other services that make it more difficult or you will need an HD antenna.

I’m just having a hard time justifying $100 per month for the 4 channels I’ll watch out of 120… These companies keep coming up with new business tactics to bleed customers dry while the cost of everything else keeps going up all at the same time. How much are bad CGI movie remakes and scripted “reality shows” really worth?..

YOU CANNOT GET A CONTRACT WITH DTV STREAM IF YOU SIGN UP WITH INTERNET. That’s a big lie. DTV stream does not offer contracts

Not NBC LOCAL

Shit....thats one expensive service, I think I'll pass sadly

On a side note. This stream buffers and pixelates regularly. Their answer is for you to watch something else! You cant make this up.

That got-damn shit is waaaay too fucking expensive!!! They aren’t even trying to be remotely competitive with the market.

nope I'll use my antenna and my Roku TV where I get free cable like channels and I will skip this service

Way too expensive. Cord cutting is starting not to be any cheaper than cable.

I dropped that rip-off Directv years ago for Slingtv for $55.00 per month.

Iam not fan of streaming

This is hardly an economic alternative to cable TV.

Hulu with live tv gives u all the same stuff plus Hulu for 65

I pay 5 bucks a month for 10000 channels with my IPTV provider.......LooooooooooooooL

Streaming services are dead when you charge 6999 and You you have lost the cheaper service it's just just cable

DirecTV is garbage do not use will not get your channels you pay for. special if you like sports you will not get your local they will stop broadcasting them when they're arguing because that's what everybody's about money so you lose at the end of of the day when you're paying for something that you do not receive when you're trying to watch your favorite sports team and playoff games that's when daylight to cut your channel off but you need to call them and tell them to give you your money back for them channels and they will then cancel them and go but do not get dish or DirecTV
