If you've set a show to record, the service you're using should know you'll want to search around it, and not force you to do weird things to get there. You don't have this issue on YouTube TV either. This is worse than cable (shocking, I know) and is the kind of thing that could send people running back to their cable box. I had to then navigate the menus in the system to the My Library section to find the full recording of the live show. When I did this, and went back to the show I was watching, I lost the ability to rewind past a certain point, even though I was recording the show. Say you're watching a show that you've got set to record, and then channel surf over to something else during the commercial break (to check out your other options). I don't want to cut the cord to go back to something that's rooted in the past.Īnd then there's the whole "rewinding live shows" issue that I've run into elsewhere.
Everything about the service just feels old. This is all to say, though, that any suspicions of DirecTV Stream being a service that seems stuck in the antiquated methods of DirecTV and cable providers are warranted.
When I got it to work on another device, I learned that the 'payment address' field may not have been working correctly. But then when I found the correct Google result, I couldn't check out, as it kept giving me errors at the billing page. I hate to be a cliche millennial, but I do not want to get a call from DirecTV ever. I understand that consent is not a condition of purchase."Īnd that's not great. It turns out I didn't look closely enough at the fine print of the site I was using, which states "By clicking "SEE PLANS" above, I consent to receive from DIRECTV and any party on behalf of DIRECTV emails, telemarketing calls using an autodialer or pre-recordings and SMS text messages, which could result in wireless charges, at the number provided.
