I only have a fire stick2 and a firetv2, the firetv2 box is drastically better than the stick. Can't compare to roku but the remote features would be nice.

Apple TV and it's remote are a game changer. It's fast, it's slick and the remote takes a bit getting used to, but once you figure it out, you'll never want to go back.
I still can't part with my harmony remote. The Apple remote needs to control other things to be all that useful.
Ran into my first problem with YoutubeTV. Trying to catch the Iowa game and they don't seem to have the alternate channels in the lineup. Switched over to the BTN app and it's terrible. Not a huge deal, but kinda annoying that they don't have alternate channels available.
PA Cue has like 5 BTN alternate channels listed. Every single one is playing App st bs Pedo St.
My PSVue has 4 BTN channels that were all labeled PSU/App State but one of them had the Iowa game.
Any recommendations for an external antenna? I'm wanting to slap one on the side of my house where the dish used to be. That way it's already wired to all my TV's.
Currently just have one of those cheap flat indoor ones, and it actually works great (can even get ABC if it's hung just right), but I want to be able to watch local HD channels in other rooms.

RCA Compact Outdoor Yagi HDTV Antenna with 70 Mile Range Amazon product ASIN B0024R4B5C
Mounts easily to the dish/directv post, not amplified. I’ve had 0 issues with it.
*apparently amazon links don’t do so well
I'm sure its been discussed in here but in case it hasn't...
DirecTV Now carries local channels now. It's awesome. No more messing with the antenna.

Still only 2 devices at a time though. That's a deal breaker for me. Otherwise it does look good. $5/mo for HBO? How do they do that?
How is the DVR for DIRECTV now? Last I looked it's only 20 hours, which would be a major downgrade for me, which kind of sucks. But 35/mo is just a great price and the Apple TV throw in is a huge perk.
Quick Apple TV question - In my basement I have a RF universal remote. Would that work with an apple TV? I've been reading online and can't figure it out.
I rarely use the DVR since everything is available on demand.
Haven't used the DVR. Don't watch too much TV and like cycloneG said it's all on demand now too.

I'm able to get WOI with this one. The RCA previously mentioned wouldn't pull it.
Didn’t think about that, is it pretty seamless through direct now? The only thing I’d want recorded is sports.
The base package for DTVnow is $40 and the Apple TV promo ended unles they just started it again yesterday. I don’t use the DTVnow dvr much but there is one annoying thing. When you fast forward, the screen stops and you have no idea when to stop fast forwarding. Have to guess using the time.
