Apple TV users facing DirecTV Now 2.0 login issues; told to “hang tight” 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. Sing into TV Provider, from the TV Provider screen 'install' the Disney Now app and open it. Log in Install Disney+ again. I tried just deleting the Disney Now app in this order and it would not load. Only upon deleting the Disney+ app and doing this did it finally work. AT&T says the update to support the Apple TV app is rolling out now and should be available to all subscribers shortly. To get the integration to start working, a pop-up will ask if you want to let DirecTV access the app after you watch a DVR-recorded show for the first time. This should be a welcomed addition for DirecTV customers. To note: I have Directv and not Directv Now, both iPhone and Apple TV 4 devices are updated to latest OS, and I can confirm I have the correct username/password combo as I can manually log into apps like FXNow, AMC, HBO Go, etc. I do have directv/AT&T combined billing which seems like it's caused nothing but problems since I combined.

DirecTV Now customers are reporting continued service outages and buffering issues with the streaming service that have been going on for over a week and according to some social media complaints even longer.
Hundreds of DirecTV Now subscribers report having difficulties logging in to the live streaming service during primetime hours – when the greatest number of customers would likely be using the service – and if they are able to log in, their picture often freezes or is interrupted by buffering.
The outages have been on-going for a number of weeks, but have been reported in high numbers over the past two weeks.
We do apologize for the streaming interruptions, we were having some issues and are working diligently to get them resolved. Are you currently receiving any streaming issues?

The service’s Twitter customer service page, @DIRECTVNowHelp, has acknowledged several times over the last week of problems, although it has not given details of what is causing the technical issues. A spokesperson for AT&T, which owns DIRECTV Now, was not immediately available for comment.
The online outage tracking site DownDetector.com reports that the number of DIRECTV Now complaints spiked yesterday evening during prime time viewing hours. From December 24th to 27th, the outage complaints were consistent for four straight days.
