While Apple’s rumored TV streaming service has fallen by the wayside, AT&T has managed to swoop in with a compelling TV streaming service of its own. Dubbed DirecTV Now, the new streaming service from Ma Bell offers users the ability to enjoy 60+ channels (in 1080p resolution when available) for just $35/month. As far as cable packages are concerned, you’ll be hard pressed to find a deal that offers more bang for your buck than what AT&T is bringing to the table. Of course, users willing to pay more can receive as many as 120+ channels.
AT&T earlier this week said that its highly anticipated TV service would go live sometime today, and interested subscribers might be excited to know that the DirecTV Now app is now live on Apple’s App Store for iOS and tvOS.
As we highlighted earlier in the week, the 4 DirecTV Now subscription options are as follows:
For anyone on the fence about subscribing, you might be interested to know that AT&T is giving away free Apple TV devices to new subscribers who commit to a three month subscription. Users willing to commit to a one month subscription will receive a free Amazon Fire TV stick. All told, DirecTV Now is arguably the type of TV streaming service Apple should have launched.
Other devices compatible with DirecTV Now include Android smartphones and tablets, iPhones, iPads, Chromecast and Google Cast. Compatible browsers for the PC and Mac crowd include Internet Explorer, Safari and Google Chrome.
As far as usability goes, each subscription allows up to two simultaneous streams, making it a less than ideal solution for large families with multiple TVs. It’s also worth noting that the service does not include any DVR functionality, though that may be coming as an additional feature later on down the line. Lastly, DirecTV Now users have the ability to sign up for HBO for just $5/month.

. You can install and login but get an Error 30 or 40 when trying to stream
MOST people also want ON DEMAND..for shows like TWD,POWER EMPIRE,SUGAR etc..then when you have these features your between $150-$200 a month..so don't fall for the BS it's all about the same..they force you to take "nobody want's" programing and they stick what you DO want around GARBAGE! If we TRULY could pay for ONLY what we want or WATCH most of us or ALL of us would have a bout 15-20 channels. For ME those would be or just about
OH yeah the other SCAM is you MUST include a "land Line" when they know good and damn WELL nobody gives a flying Fuck about a land line when MOST use their cell as they everything phone. And I wont even start on the ISP Con game
