I've evaluated this and Playstation Vue service. Unlike DirecTV Now, Playstation Vue offers a cloud-based DVR. Add your favorite shows and it will provide the current and older episodes whenever you want to watch them. Both services do not get all the local network channels which for me is a big deal. But the upside with both these streaming based services is you don't lease their equipment and pay those ridiculous monthly fees for equipment you'll never own. You do require a device like a Roku or Amazon Fire TV but you get services with those devices that have nothing to do with these TV services.
