The telecommunications big, which owns every little thing from DirecTV to the Warner Bros. film studio, has seven completely different streaming options both available on the market or on their manner. A few of them have comparable names. Lots of them cowl the identical markets. How is a cord-cutter supposed to maintain all of it straight?
By studying our information, after all. Right here’s every little thing it is advisable to learn about AT&T’s varied streaming providers — for now. At this fee, who is aware of the place it should finish?
Live TV
AT&T TV
Along with the devoted streaming machine, AT&T TV will likely be accessible on cellular apps so you possibly can watch on the go, though subscribers will likely be restricted to 3 simultaneous streams. It’s unclear if any of AT&T TV’s programming will likely be restricted over the app. AT&T hasn’t introduced how a lot AT&T TV will price however this system is predicted to roll out shortly, with further places being added because the 12 months progresses (in America– AT&T TV is a US-only service). Hopefully, we’ll be taught extra quickly.
AT&T TV Now
With AT&T TV Now, you don’t want an AT&T-made machine to observe tv: AT&T TV Now runs on main streaming bins like Roku and Fireplace TV gadgets (although it gained’t work on Android TV gadgets), in addition to PCs, telephones, and tablets. AT&T TV Now affords six packages that comprise between 40 and 125 channels, and value between $50 and $135 a month. The extra you pay, the extra channels you get. AT&T TV Now’s flagship packages, Plus and Max, include free HBO, and all subscriptions embody a cloud-based DVR.
One of many distinguishing traits of AT&T TV is that it's going to have at the least some 4K content material. In its current type, AT&T TV Now's restricted to HD decision like Sling TV and firm. There could also be many different main variations, however we gained’t know till AT&T TV is formally unveiled.
WatchTV
Additionally, whilst you can entry WatchTV on most streaming gadgets, its premium add-ons are inclined to price somewhat greater than they do on different providers. For instance, HBO prices $18 on WatchTV, whereas it tends to run $15 elsewhere. There’s additionally no DVR performance, both. Recently, AT&T hasn’t talked about WatchTV a lot, resulting in rumors that the service is on its manner out. For now, nonetheless, it’s nonetheless round. And when you’ve acquired an AT&T limitless knowledge plan, it’s effectively price benefiting from the service.
On-demand
HBO Max
HBO falls beneath the WarnerMedia umbrella, so the entire premium community’s reveals, together with new collection akin to His Dark Materials and Watchmen, are anticipated to be accessible on HBO Max. As well as, Friends can even stream on HBO Max — and solely HBO Max — as will the whole run of The Recent Prince of Bel-Air.

HBO Max gained’t have every little thing that WarnerMedia controls, nonetheless. Earlier licensing offers imply that older CW reveals like Arrow and The Flash, will proceed to stream on Netflix. NBC Common has dibs on the Harry Potter franchise till 2025, and we nonetheless don’t know what number of DCEU movies will make the minimize. Nonetheless, if the service turns into accessible on the rumored $17 month-to-month price, HBO Max’s mixture of traditional and unique content material may make it a respectable Netflix competitor. Regulate this one. It might be huge.
However wait, there’s extra!
HBO Now
That features each HBO’s rotating selection of Hollywood films and (virtually) all of its original series. New episodes of reveals akin to Euphoria and Succession arrive on HBO Now as quickly as they air on tv, whereas HBO Now’s ever-growing on-demand library makes it straightforward to compensate for Veep, The Sopranos, and extra.
That mentioned, assuming HBO Max’s rumored $17 value level proves true, there’s not a lot purpose to stick with HBO Now. In actual fact, on condition that HBO Max will probably supply all of HBO Now’s programming and extra, we wouldn’t be shocked if AT&T ultimately shuttered the service. For now, nonetheless, it seems to be like it's sticking round.
HBO Go
