The same restriction applies to other streaming bundles such as Sling TV and PlayStation Vue. NFL games are not available to stream on mobile devices, due to an exclusivity deal between Verizon and the league. DirecTV Now does not offer the NFL Network or NFL Redzone, either. Will NFL Sunday Ticket be available?ĪT&T has previously said that it’s trying to negotiate a deal with the league, but as of now, Sunday Ticket is only available to DirecTV Satellite customers, and as a standalone streaming service for people who cannot install a satellite where they live. As long as those channels are part of your DirecTV Now package, you can use their apps to watch on devices that DirecTV Now doesn’t support, or to watch when all your DirecTV Now streams are already in use. Does DirecTV Now authenticate with TV Everywhere apps such as WatchESPN?ĭirecTV Now currently works with 64 TV Everywhere apps. Both offerings become cheaper when part of a family plan, and they also include free HBO. The latter costs $80 per month for one line. The former costs $65 per month for one line and has various restrictions on speeds, mobile hotspot use, and video quality. (Other streaming bundles choose either one or the other.) We’re still awaiting comment on whether DirecTV Now has any other restrictions against ad skipping or recording certain channels.Īny bundle deals for AT&T wireless subscribers?Īccording to AT&T’s website, you can currently save $15 per month on DirecTV Now by bundling the service with an AT&T Unlimited Choice Enhanced or Unlimited Plus Enhanced plan.
In terms of recording hours and storage time, DirecTV Now is the least generous of all streaming bundles, limiting both the amount of storage you get and the time you have to watch those recordings. This summer, a $10-per-month DVR upgrade will offer 100 hours of recording for up to 90 days. You get 20 hours of recording, stored for up to 30 days, at no extra charge. Starting this week, DirecTV Now includes cloud DVR service as a public beta feature. Many channels also offer a selection of on-demand video, and roughly 40 channels offer a “Rewind” feature that lets you watch anything that’s aired in the past 72 hours. Nearly every channel includes a live programming feed, just like you’d get with cable or satellite TV. Sales taxes may apply, but there are no other hidden fees. You can also add HBO or Cinemax to any package for $5 per month each, and Starz or Showtime for $8 per month each. Additional channel tiers are available for $50 per month, $60 per month, and $70 per month. This package includes the four major broadcast networks, the major cable news networks, nationally televised sports channels such as ESPN and FS1, and a slew of general entertainment channels. Pricing starts at $35 per month for roughly 60 channels.
