If you’ve been holding out trying DIRECTV NOW due to its lack of Roku support, you’ll be disappointed to hear that we really don’t know when the DIRECTV NOW Roku channel will be coming.
When Will We Be Able to Use DIRECTV NOW on Roku? This leads us to believe that the DIRECTV NOW Roku app will most likely not be launched before the end of March. But as you can see, that blog post was edited a few days ago to simply say “in 2017”. That would coincide with the blog post that stated that Roku support would be added in “Q1 2017”. To add to the confusion, over the last few weeks, customer service representatives from DIRECTV NOW have stated that DIRECTV NOW on Roku should be available by the end of March. However, now that it’s months later and the device is still not supported, some cord-cutters have expressed frustration. The company made it clear in January at a CES Conference press briefing that DIRECTV NOW Roku support would be coming “in the next few weeks”. It supported most major streaming devices at the time, with one notable exception: Roku. To put a long story short, DIRECTV NOW launched in November 2016. Now, 4 months after launch, Roku DIRECTV NOW support is still not available but it should be coming soon.
Roku boasts millions of users worldwide, and they offer both standalone Roku players and Roku technology integrated into smart TVs. It seems like an odd move for a big streaming service to launch without support of one of the most popular streaming platforms out there. However, there’s been a handful of issues with the service, one big one being that there is no DIRECTV NOW Roku app! It has made waves in the cord-cutting community because of its excellent channel selection, cutting-edge features, and reasonable price tag. DIRECTV NOW is a popular streaming service and cable alternative that was launched in late 2016.
