Will it be fire tv as a app?

 

[KyL416]

It uses the existing DIRECTV app, you just only get access to the FAST channels in the 4000s along with Tastemade, The First, Cheddar News, AccuWeather and FOX Weather

DTV Insider now has a bunch of channel specific FAST articles, however it looks like no one bothered to proof read them since they list FOX Weather as 311 instead of 363, Yahoo Finance as 4201 instead of 4021, they list 4161 UEN even though it never launched, and mention other channels that aren't even testing yet like DAZN Ringside, Three Stooges+ on 4218 and Military Heroes by History, also listed for channel 4161 when it would likely be in the 4200s range if they add it

 

[larry55]

Not very impressed at all.

These channels from Fremantle:
Buzzr
Let's Make a Deal

Not very impressed at all.

Fortunately, it won't impact your monthly bill (unless you exceed any broadband data caps).

Anything testing after these bunch of fast channels

Anything testing after these bunch of fast channels

That would be a topic for a different DIRECTV thread (one not specifically dedicated to FAST channels).

Anything testing after these bunch of fast channels

Speedvision is still testing

 

[jamieh1]

According to Directv Fast page, Military Heroes by The History Channel, The Three Stooges, and few others coming soon.

 

[KyL416]

I'd take those with a grain of salt unless they actually start testing. They're listing Military Heroes and Stooges+ as if they're currently available, they still list UEN who never launched, and they never included 4336 Family Feud in the coming soon list, so it's possible they were working off an early draft when posting the FAST Insider articles.

 

[jamieh1]

I’ve been watching the Buzzr channel a lot since it was added. Love watching the old gameshows.

 

[yetimizer361]

Anything new testing?

Anything new testing?

Why wait? Get yourself a proper streaming device and go at it now.

Anything new testing?

Nothing FAST wise except Speedvision. They might have had some issues with its Wurl ingestion since up until a few days ago the last-modified headers on its thumbnails were always 45-60 minutes behind realtime.

They are testing some other non-FAST channels like 343 i24 News and KUNP/47 for Portland which will drop Univision in January and become that market's new home of the Trail Blazers.


They also finally killed off the stream for UEN about 2 weeks ago.

EDIT: They also deleted the insider articles for UEN and Military Heroes
