I actually thought to myself on more than one occasion: "I should try this now, before they change it again." Alas, what I would have wanted to subscribe to (in theory) no longer exists.

And at least for some unknown period, I can keep the deal.
And here’s the saddest part of the ATT TV fiasco. It is a great service with good channel selections, a really good app for it, best PQ and Audio and they’ve managed to market it so well they keep losing customers by the droves. This newest twist on their incompetent marketing of it isn’t going to change that IMO.
They were losing way too much money on ATT TV Now. And it was taking too many customers away from their ATT TV and DirecTV premium services.I’m just the opposite. I signed up for it at the Max level which is a really good deal. And at least for some unknown period, I can keep the deal.

They think that AT&T TV is the future of the company. They spend a lot of money advertising that service, but very little for DirecTV, which they are desperately trying to sell.
How does it do on data. I assume you would be hitting caps fairly quick.

Now ATT TV will do damage to DirecTV, because of its lower prices and no two-year contract. That is why they are so anxious to part ways with DTV.
Thats left over from the days they were a monopoly in the phone biz..take it or leave it mentalityBased on your linked article and looking a ATT TV’s website, it has a couple of things wrong.
ATT TV non-contract service does not include the ATT TV device but you can buy one. That is different from the previous ATT TV Now service where you couldn’t buy one at all nor did one come with the service.
ATT TV has both a contract 2-year service and a non-contract service with differing prices for the subscription levels offered. The non-contract has 3 levels available, the contract has more levels, notable Total and Premier. The contract service comes with one ATT TV box for ‘well qualified subscribers’ and also offers additional ones with 0% financing or upfront payment.
IMO, ATT TV insists on offering the most confusing mish-mash presentation compared to any other streaming service. This has been true since day one and continues unabated.
Note that the current contract offering does not include the $200 rebate of just yesterday therefore it is also a cost increase without saying so.
Back then, there weren't many options ... now the options are springing up all over the place.Thats left over from the days they were a monopoly in the phone biz..take it or leave it mentality
Att is caught between being a traditional satellite/ cable company and a stand alone streaming app(hulu)...trying to use traditional csble packages in a new fangled streaming environment..they should just buy a successful streaming company and be done with it
Technically, they did: Warner Media had HBONow at the time of the acquisition.Att is caught between being a traditional satellite/ cable company and a stand alone streaming app(hulu)...trying to use traditional csble packages in a new fangled streaming environment..they should just buy a successful streaming company and be done with it
Frankly I think the mistake they made with this contract vs non-contract version is making the included DVR space too small for the non-contract service. If they had chosen 50 hours vice the 20 hours it would be a useable amount and with the expanded DVR option would allow those that need more to pay for it. 20 hours just won’t cut it for most IMO.
