Went to vue for about a half hour or so and then swapped back. It was good for ten minutes and now it's dropping out again.
Edit:. As soon as I hit "post" it kicked me out of the app. Second time on two different devices it's done that tonight

I will say this. It is better than previous nights and at the start of week 2 I have seen improvements. Sometimes the stream will freeze and startup again. That didn't happen again. After my initial freezing I got a good 42 minutes before the next freeze.
Bottom line is this. I am a beta tester for three months and have been given the equipment to do so. At the end of that three months it better be all swim and no sink.

Well here is what you get when you try watching football.
And here is what happens if you try watching on Sling TV.

This is actually quite different. It seems that at peak hours there is a drain on the servers and Now can't handle the capacity. Things are great all day until that magic 7:30 hour or so. It's like clockwork. I can stream ABC and CBS via app without a hiccup. ATT may have to invest in some infrastructure ASAP.
Agree partially, they need more bandwidth or smarter load balancing equipment to handle nighttime loads. Can you imagine what happens when GOT's airs.
What I'm saying about NFL ST they still have done nothing to make it work better after all these years. So the mentality is to get by with the minimum. Works Okay during low loads so well enough. It all depended on which game you watched how much buffering would occur.

I need to correct something here about PQ. Its not as good as the PSVue watching my favorite morning news program after a evening of freeze and buffering, I'm seeing more grain in NOW clearly visible using the side by side comparison.
I'm wondering if there are a given amount of servers in certain markets. I'm in the NYC/Philadelphia market and might have a heavier load than less populated markets.
They told me it would ship 2-3 weeks after signing up. I haven't received an email or anything from them.
I ordered first day...got email saying it shipped and was good to go. I paid via credit card I have read of people paying with PayPal having issues

Well, I just did a search and see that I received the email on the 5th. It came from a different email address. That's how I missed it. I'll have the Apple TV today. It's out for delivery.
