AT&T TV NOW Review

AT&T TV NOW is an online streaming video service. This service is entirely separate from AT&T TV. This is a no-contract streaming service that delivers live television through your internet connection to devices such as computers, tablets, smartphones, or streaming devices. Unlike traditional cable or satellite TV plans, it requires no installation, there are no extra fees, and you can cancel anytime.

Access to any sport with #1 VPN, Single Solution to Watch any Sport

The service was formerly known as DIRECTV NOW but was rebranded in 2019. Long gone are the days of free Apple TVs and $35/month plans for 100 channels; however, there are many different packages offered by this streaming service which we will review later on. AT&T TV TV has changed quite a bit over the years but is now around the same pricepoint as services such as Hulu and YouTube TV for the base package. Overall, it is one of the most expensive services available but there are a few bright spots such as HBO Max, 500 hours of DVR, and all four broadcast channels in most markets.

Other Streaming Features and Information

Streams

AT&T TV NOW allows three concurrent streams at one time. You can stream on two devices at the same time with the AT&T NOW international plans. International packages only come with two concurrent streams; however, an additional third stream may be purchased for $5/month.

DVR

AT&T TV NOW offers True Cloud DVR. With True Cloud DVR, AT&T TV NOW accounts with the Plus, Max, Entertainment, Choice, Xtra, Ultimate, or Optimo Más package get 500 hours of recording time, and all other accounts get 20 hours. Users can keep recordings for up to 90 days with the Plus, Max, Entertainment, Choice, Xtra, Ultimate, or Optimo Más packages, and all other accounts get 30 days. The DVR is incredibly easy to use and one of the best currently available.

Features

One of the features that streaming services have been lacking is a good TV guide. AT&T TV NOW has a pretty decent one compared to other services but the menus are clunky. The platform is smart and saves the channel that was on when you stopped watching which has been jettisoned by other streaming services. Most live channels are broadcast in 720p but AT&T TV Now supports 60-frames-per-second video on all sports, news, and broadcast channels on Apple TV, Roku, and Fire TV. This service also contains parental controls and gives users access to 37 TV Anywhere apps.

Local Channel Restrictions

Local channels are still an issue for many users. Unfortunately, this is a common problem for all streaming services. Local channel availability depends upon the market in which you live. You may get one or all of the local broadcast channels: ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC. Most markets are going to get all four of these local broadcast stations.
