For example, the Go Big package-which includes 100+ live channels-is normally priced at $60 per month. Introductory offers from AT&T, however, can bring the cost down considerably. HBO and Cinemax premium services can also be added for an incremental $5 each per month. Various packages are available, ranging from 60+ live channels at $35 per month to 120+ live channels for $70 per month. The service enables live streaming of television from networks such as AMC, CNN, ESPN, Fox, NBC, Syfy, and a host of others, plus delivers a Netflix-like on-demand service. DirecTV Now also runs in most web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Safari.ĭesigned to be attractive to consumers wanting to lower their monthly TV costs, DirecTV Now has no annual contract commitment and needs no special on-site hardware or installation service-it simply requires the existence of a recommended 6 MB or higher broadband Internet connection in the home. In addition to the Amazon Fire TV Stick and Fire TV, Google Chromecast and Google Cast are available options, as well as Apple iPad and iPhone apps for iOS 9 or higher, and Android support for version 4.4 or higher. So if you were planning to switch to streaming anyway, then this is not a bad deal because the monthly price is competitive for the package and you get a free AppleTV, HBO and DVR.Introductory offers for the DirecTV Now streaming service include free Apple TV or Amazon Fire TV Stick devices with a pre-pay arrangement.Īs for the DirectTV Now service itself, the Apple TV app (which requires a 4th Generation box) is probably the most elegant television interface among of all of the platforms supported.
* AT&T has worked out most of the kinks and the streaming is now excellent and channel switching is fast including SIRI tune to, switch to, change to commands etc. * You can stream all the channels from anywhere in the country over 4G, WiFi or Wired. * DirecTV Now have partnered with AppleTV service to support single sign-on and SIRI channel tuning. * DVR is included in the package at no extra cost. * HBO is included in the package and Games of Throne is coming.
Note that the DirecTV Now service is much better now than it was when I signed up. I prepaid $35 per month and although my price has since gone up to $50, it is still a good deal because I count 134 channels in the now grandfathered GoBig Package which is no longer offered. I subscribed to DirecTV Now on day one and got a free AppleTV and the GoBig package and when I look back now, I am very happy I did because it was a great deal. The price of video streaming has gone up and I don't think it will come down any time soon, unless the providers start offering 5G streaming deals.
