[QUOTE="OKNewshawk, post: 3210325, member: 6592"] In case you're wondering why I went with DirecTV Now--they're the only live streaming OTT service that offers all the major local channels (KJRH 2, KOTV 6, KTUL 8, and KOKI 23.) Sling, Hulu, Playstation Now, and YouTube TV all are missing one or more channels. The only local channel I wish DirecTV Now would add is the local CW, KQCW 19, but that's only so I don't have to switch over to antenna for the last hour of the [I]6 In the Morning[/I] local news. Another reason is that the DirecTV Now interface most closely mimics a cable box interface, at least on Roku. When you "turn it on," the app comes up to the last channel watched. On Roku, you press the UP button to bring up the channel guide, then use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through the guide. If you just want to change channels, you use the LEFT and RIGHT buttons to change channels. The DVR is a bit klunky, and only holds 20 hours for 30 days, but I've discovered I don't watch much DVRed content any more. I don't even watch much of what's considered "entertainment" programming. I use DirecTV Now for news and my weekly NASCAR fix but most of the entertainment programming I watch these days is anime! [/QUOTE]
