Today AT&T started to roll out an update to the DIRECTV NOW app on iOS and the Apple TV. It seems that AT&T is rolling out a significant update not to the user interface but the back end of DIRECTV NOW. For the last few months many DIRECTV NOW users have complained that DIRECTV NOW has been crashing and suffering a long list of bugs. I've used most of the available devices to play DirecTV Now. I started with the free Apple TV 4, a month later picked up a Fire TV Box, then a Fire Stick (hated it, sold). Recently, I picked up a clearance 2016 Roku Ultra model for our 3rd TV. I tried it out for a week and decided to sell both my Apple TV and Fire TV box.

When your @DIRECTV bill goes up $40 more for TV. Looks like I’ll be calling Directv Monday to complain because that’s not cool to do to customers during the #covid #pandemic. It’s already expensive enough. This customer isn’t happy. LP (@LPP614) reported 5 hours ago. When your @DIRECTV bill goes up $40 more for TV. AT&T TV Now, formerly known as DirecTV Now. The result is a live TV service that has all the same problems as before, but almost none of the benefits. AT&T TV Now works with Apple TV.

The recent DirecTV Now 2.0 update is creating various login issues for some subscribers, many of whom are being told to “hang tight” and use third-party apps to access the service until issues are resolved.
The various reports of issues began almost immediately after the release of the version 2.0 update this past Tuesday, with subscribers reporting the issues via DirecTV Now’s Twitter account…
@DIRECTVNowHelp Help! I am unable to log in to my Directv Now account. I can't use chat since I can't log in. I can't log in on the web and my Apple TV.

Over 20 reports through Twitter were made of the same login issue. BESTAppleTV.com has followed up with four of those publicly reporting issues. Three of the four report they are still unable to log in, some more than three days after first encountering problems.
DirecTV Now and its parent company, AT&T, are telling customers that until the issue is resolved, they can access their accounts through their web browser, various mobile apps and directly through the apps of various networks that allow sign-on with their DirecTV Now accounts, the latter being a tedious process that restricts users from watching more than one channel at a time.
A communications spokesperson for AT&T or DirecTV Now has not responded to repeated attempts for comment to this story.
