AT&T's DirecTV Now Streaming Service Will Launch Wednesday on the Apple TV, iOS Devices and More
There’s a new way for Apple device users to say goodbye to the cable company. AT&T has just unveiled its new DirecTV Now live TV streaming service. It will officially launch on Wednesday, Nov. 30 and be available on the Apple TV, iOS devices, a Mac, and many other outlets.
Starting at $35 per month
The different packages are taken from DirecTV’s traditional satellite TV service. Here are the available plans.
- Live a Little – $35 / month (60+ channels)
- Just Right – $50 / month (80+ channels)
- Go Big – $60 / month (100+ channels)
- Gotta Have it – $70 / month (120+ channels)
HBO and Cinemax fans can add those channels to their service for an additional $5 each per month.
To celebrate the launch, for a limited time, the Go Big package will be $35 per month. Subscribers will be able to keep that rate as long as they continue with the service.
If you’re still in the market for a new Apple TV, you can prepay for three months of service and receive the set-top box for free, more than likely the 32GB model that retails for $149.
AT&T mobile customers can also access the DirecTV Now service without it counting against their existing data limits.
Anyone interested in checking it out can sign up for a free, seven-day trial.
