More info about the upcoming AT&T online streaming service has surfaced. DirecTV Now has revealed their launch date and channel lineup (plus pricing), for those who were looking to jump ship from Sling TV and Playstation VUE.
As you can see in the graphic below, DirecTV Now will offer four packages: Live A Little ($35/month), Just Right ($50/month), Go Big ($60/month) and Gotta Have It ($70/month). For a limited time, their Go Big package will be offered for $35 per month, with a pricing change to happen at some point in the near future (it will only be offered as an introductory price for people to sign up).
If you sign up for DirecTV Now for the first three months, you can also get a free Apple TV.
The platform will also not feature DVR functionality (or ability to pause live TV) until next year and they will not launch with CBS or Showtime (although negotiations are still ongoing).
DirecTV Now will launch Wednesday, November 30th, in the US on iPhone, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, and PC/Mac (Roku compatibility is coming next year). You will be able to test out the service through their free 7-day trial as a new customer, but as of now, it doesn’t look much like a cord-cutting option than cable.
