I have had a few issues with switching from Comcast to direct TV. BUT if I am just reviewing the app its great. I can watch live shows or shows Ive recorded from my DVR. I was never able to do that with the Comcast app. The one big issue I dont like is if you pause or stop the streaming it wont let you resume. You have to watch from beginning and fast forward never works. Resume has been an option but only if you go back to watch within minutes from pausing.....over all the app is pretty good
