AT&T Now Opinions.

I’m getting ready to drop DirectTv and considering giving it a try. Does anyone have any experience with the service and can offer any opinions about it.

Overall it’s a pretty good service. Easy to use and reliable.
The major issue that I have found is that it does not support 4K devices (the sound doesn’t sync with the picture), which is laughable because I got a free Apple TV 4K when I signed up. So if you plan on streaming on a 4K device, you’ll need to set it to 1080p, and switch it back to 4K if you want to watch other apps in 4K. I did the free trial of YouTubetv and found it to be a better platform but ATTNow is cheaper for ATT unlimited data cellphone customers.

What the tiger3 said. 85 channels for $40 being an unlimited data users is the way to go. Even with my shitty 50mb/s internet.

Thanks, we only have one 4K Fire Stick so it shouldn’t be a problem. I’m going to give the free trial a shot and see how it goes. I know it’s damn sure cheaper than DirectTv which doesn’t make sense to me because isn’t it the same company?

Actually ATT is trying to dump them after spending way too much for it. It has been a great run with the NOW since then.

This is incorrect. I’ve been using ATT TV on an Apple TV 4K since I got it.

Good for you. Mine used to work With 4K and then stopped a while back. Seems like other people have had the same issue:

I was an early adopter and we have ATT cell phones. That being said, the price is too cheap, for what I get, to go anywhere else. Free HBO and ATT doesn't count the data we use on our phones to stream TV.
Even if I didn't have all that, I can say the service has been pretty good and reliable.

After trying it last night the only complaints so far are not being able to rewind live TV and it doesn’t stay paused for very long. The guide is a bit much but I’ve been using DirectTv for 15 years so that’s all I really know.

I would recommend that you do a free trial for YouTube TV and/or Hulu Live before committing to AT&T Now.
I was a previous Directv customer who moved to what was then DirectvNow. Other than better stability and a new name, AT&T hasn’t made a lot of improvements to the product.
I found YouTube TV to be a superior product over AT&T Now. Better cloud DVR, better picture quality, ability to pause live TV, and an easier interface.
I wish I had switched sooner. Most, if not all of the streaming services have a free trial. Give them a test run to see which one works best for you.

If you need a ton of DVR space this might not be the one for you.
I’d recommend trying the free trial for all,of the services before making a decision
