Thanks but no thanks.  Apple Maps is simply better.

Apple Maps features are more thoroughly implemented and with a much better user interface.

I did and have. Even very happy with the service.   The only thing I don't understand is why some channels I can watch on my iPhone or iPad but not on my AppleTV

I have been happy with the service as well.  
AT&T must do the following 2 simple things to keep me beyond the 3 months.

1.  Fully integrate DirecTV Now in the Apple TV.  
     a. Support single-signon
     b. Support all available standalone Apps included in the package because they stream their content better the the AT&T DirecTV Now App.

2.  Increase the number of simultaneous streams allowed.

If AT&T can't do that and Hulu comes out with a decent package that offers these 2 things, then I am switching to Hulu. (Heck, I already subscribe to Hulu.)
My gut feeling tells me that Hulu will do a better job integrating with the AppleTV single sign-on and stand alone app authentication support.
AT&T may have conflict of interest because of their Satellite service.

Time will tell.

This guy is a nut case.  He is not going after Apple, he is going after Google for kicking him out.
Every time he gets kicked out of a company, he builds a competing product and sells it to a competitor.

First he was kicked out of Apple so he stole Apple ideas and brought them to Google.
Then he got kicked out of Google so now he is going after Google in hopes that Samsung may buy Essentials.

This has Amazon and Cable TV providers written all over it.
They don't want to pay Apple the 15% cut.

They will have to pay the piper sooner or later.

One more and we'll have a dozen participants.
I want to see "DirecTV Now" round up the twelve participants.
