For about the last hour DIRECTV NOW has been down hard. We have been flooded with emails and calls about the outage. For now, all DIRECTV NOW is saying is that they know the service is down and that they are working on a fix.
Update: We are hearing reports that DIRECTV NOW is coming back online.
We are aware of the issue affecting streaming for some customers and we are working to fix it as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience with us. ^NichelleJ

Details are still thin but as soon as we learn more we will post an update. As always though if you start to see reports of it coming back online you may need to restart your DIRECTV NOW app to restore service.
