Great - a few hiccups

Overall, after the week trial, I keep the service and cut the cord as it is a great value (half price from cable). I also have faith the service will improve overtime to become as easy to use as cable. Here is my detailed review -

The great:
- has all the channels I want, except CNN (hope this is coming soon). Great value value right there. 5 stars when you have CNN.
- unlimited DVR - insane ... this is worth 5 stars, no competition.
- family accounts so our scattered family in 3 different cities all share, this includes the local channels
- user interface: great after some getting used to, like it took me a while to uncover TV listing scrolling (hint: in live, click on channel logo)

How to best use it:
- for big screen experience, I use an Apple TV (gen 4) and it really requires a dedicated streaming device, as multitasking will disrupt the airplay stream (like chrome browsing will for sure interrupt the TV stream). I therefore tend to stream from my phone and multitask on my iPad.

Needs improvements:
- in VOD I often loose the stream casting when it goes to commercial break (Airplay or Chromecast). This is driving us nuts! We can recover quickly by clicking on the streaming device tv screen (sometimes this is enough), else need to switch Airplay back and forth from the device to the Apple TV. Very annoying and not everyone in my household can do that. This is where regular cable is still better. Note that we have the same problem with the Hulu app, so this is an industry problem.
-in VOD the image quality is not great, heavy pixelation in the dark shades.
- the DVR 15 sec skip needs to be used slowly, else the streaming freezes. Not as good as cable.
- the DVR program search can be improved (Google, what!) ... for instance (today) it finds a sport event (Liverpool Chelsea) in Universo but does not find it in my local NBC channel.
