DirecTV Now Streaming Service Launches Nov 30th — $35 a Month With Free Apple TV

To compete with the rising amount of streaming services (aka the future of TV), AT&T in March announced DirecTV Now, an on-demand and live broadcast streaming service comparable to PlayStation Vue, which we wrote about recently, and Sling TV.

To kick off the service, AT&T will be offering its $60 a month "Go Big" package (100+ channels) at $35, with the huge benefit that you will be locked in at that price for as long as you use the service. Sweetening the deal even more, if you prepay for three months of the "Go Big" package in advance you get an Apple TV for Free. (Insert joke about my name here.)

DirecTV Now will be available on Chrome Cast, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Stick, and obviously Apple TV. The service doesn't launch until November 30th, but you can go to their website to be notified the instant they launch.

The options for cable cutting keep getting better. With so many companies that can now compete across the United States and the world, we have a higher chance for some kind of competitive price war. The reason so many people switch to streaming only is because in some markets they have only one company to work with that until recently had zero incentive to drop their prices.
