    So I can sign up for DTVNow for three months, pay $105, get a 4K Apple TV, never watch anything (or even turn the receiver on), and then cancel at 2 months and 29 days?  Sounds like a no brainer.

    You don't have to wait until the last day to cancel your subscription. You can cancel immediately. Your service will remain active until the end of the period for which you paid (3 months), but will not automatically renew.

    I signed up on a Friday. The ATV 4K shipped Monday and arrived Wednesday at which time I also canceled my subscription.

    Although I had no intention of using the service given my experience with them a year ago, I tried it long enough to see if anything changed. There's still no DVR. There's still no 5.1 audio for live TV. VOD gets interrupted with poorly-"spliced" ads of wildly varying volume through which you cannot fast forward. To me, it was and still is a junk service. The only thing good I have to say about it is they sell Apple TVs at a good price.

    I've also been without cable TV for almost two years. Watching live TV again was an exercise in frustration - it seems like there are more commercials than actual content. No, thanks!


    Thanks for the info.

    I presume that the receiver has to be returned as well. :)
