DirecTV Now contact

I don't have DirecTV Now. What CDN are they using? Fire up a stream and use Torch to see what IP it's coming from. 

Torch is a tool in Mikrotik RouterOS. I recognize those three as likely being familiar with RouterOS, so I sent them that way.

Yeah, our eyeball network has problems with DirecTV too. 

Would be nice if they were at the various peering exchanges...
