Does this Roku premium + support Direct TV Now? null

I have a Roku premium with directtvnow. Works great.

As of 4/9/2017 and some months earlier DirecTV came out with a streaming package. This does not use DirecTV equipment but would work fine through this product. I believe at this time there are 120 channels for $35.00 a month with NO contract and you can cancel ANYTIME you want. So the earlier answers were correct but are now outdated. The 35 dollars a month at this time I am certain of. The channel count may be higher though and additional channels can be purchased at an upcharge. Worst thing is there is no DVR so you can not record anything.

It is not an available channel, yet.

Currently not offered, but Direct TV has promised it will be out this year. Best guess 2nd quarter of 2017. Also reports are they will have a Cloud DVR option as well. Which will be real cool.

As of 01/26/17 no, but it is coming. Currently only available for Apple TV, or Browser. If your TV is a smart TV you should be able to cast it from Chrome Browser to Smart TV. Also reports they are going to have Cloud DVR option as well soon. It will be the standard by end of 2017.

Not yet. I have the Roku Premium + model but as of right now, (any model) Roku does not offer the Directv Now app. I just signed up for Directv Now and they said that Roku will have their app in early 2017 so it should be on there soon. Diectv Now gave me a free Apple TV device that supports their app when I signed up with them and prepaid for 3 months. It's nice but the Roku is easier to operate. As an old Roku user I am not getting rid of it and will patiently wait for the Directv channel to be offered on Roku. They are working on it. Still, Roku offers many, many channels/apps, some I have not seen on Amazon Fire or Apple TV . NOTE: Amazon Fire Stick offers the Directv Now channel right now and you can get a free Fire stick when you prepay for 1 month of Directv Now (I paid $30. for my Fire Stick but got an Apple TV for free with 3 months prepay).

I was able to add add programs from my Directv package. I added HGTV, HBO Go and the Disney Channel, not sure what else you can add.
