Now if only Amazon would develop an Apple TV app it would completely justify the cost.
Won't happen. They don't sell the ATV anymore since it competes with their stick.

Sorry, but I for one am tired of all these AT&T / DirecTV cross-promotions. DirecTV is not currently an option for me, but all of AT&T's current iPhone promotions also require DirecTV service. ^#$#&.

but you also need to upgrade your data plan with att? currently pay $150 after taxes for 200+ HD channels, 2 TiVo boxes and up to 200MB internet. I think there's a catch with this one.
Spectrum charges a $200 setup fee and like $90 a month (honestly can't remember the monthly cost now; they won't show it on their website,
Did the cloud DVR controls allow for skipping commercials? And how long did they keep the recordings? I think Vue cloud DVR is 28 days but not sure since I do not use them. And I do not use them because they do not have an Apple TV App.
I have an Apple TV (4th gen), and "cut the cord" six months ago. I watch Hulu, Netflix, and Youtube via streaming, with no commercials. Oh, wait, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is one of the handful of shows not covered by Hulu's normal commercial-free deal (blame the studios), so one brief non-screaming commercial runs before the show. So I see one commercial a week. And I don't have to worry about recording anything, and I don't have to worry about dealing with skipping over commercials because they aren't there in the first place.so streaming... does that meant theres no recording or fast forwarding commercials cus thats a deal breaker. no one watches commercials in this day
There's got to be a catch.....
The devil is most certainly in the details of what AT&T wants from you. I have Comcast internet currently, but would switch back to AT&T if the details of this service are favorable to me. PS Vue is going to kill my 1TB bandwidth cap that Comcast has now imposed.
I'm wondering, at least for the ATV service, if they aren't thinking, rather than an actual DVR, they offer TV Anywhere access for nearly all of their channels, plus the On Demand offerings of their own, and tie that into the "TV" app that Apple is going to send down? Then you are in the Apple ecosystem for almost everything, since you can then "favorite" programs, have the newest episodes appear in the TV app, and other available programming appear there. I would be very interested to see how this may work, and would love to use just my Apple TV, rather than Amazon Fire or Roku devices in addition. Truly ties all my content into a single device.
The only thing missing, then, is the ability to have different profiles within the TV app for others in your iCloud family, so that my wife and kids have their own "favorites" on a single Apple TV device.
Pretty sure he meant AT&T and Time Warner merger.What pending merger? AT&T and DirecTV got FCC approval to merge July 24th, 2015.
Pay $50 more like I have to to get unlimited with no caps..
Which one is more worth it? The 1 month Fire Stick deal or the Apple TV? Don't most people hate the new AppleTV?

It's a promo to try to boost numbers... that's really the catch. They want to hook you and hope you forget to cancel after the freebie.
I really wonder the benefit of having DTV Now vs. Hulu? I'm intrigued by the new service but can't think of what benefit I'd get paying $35 a month vs. $12 for Hulu and just watch everything, commercial free, the next day. Thoughts?
ATV is great. Why would anyone hate it. The remote takes some getting used to.

Sports.
Pretty sure the ATV3 is not receiving any new Apps so it would probably have to be the ATV4.

So pay $70 a month for service, plus 50 to have no cap, then pay for TV service? Now I'm right back to where I was with a traditional TV provider. The cap is only a problem for me because of streaming video. Otherwise, no issues.
I have no chose because I have 8 kids, the wife and me.. we play online games, use Netflix and youtube.. We hit 1600 TB a month give or take..
The rumor is free Fire TV with 2 months pre-payment, free Apple TV with 3 months pre-payment. Until they actually announce their plans, it's all rumor, however.Well.. They've just overcome one obstacle: It's 'free'
In the article it says "fire TV' not "Apple TV"
You know what they say, if it sounds too good........
Take my money?
I only have a question mark because it sounds too good to be true, and I'm skeptical because it's coming from AT&T, which isn't really known for being so generous...
I have been reading about ATSC 3.0 over the last few months and like what I'm reading. ATSC 3.0 also involves the broadcast stations broadcast to mobile devices such as iPads and iPhones and others. Sometime later there will be ATSC 3.0 tuners in the iPads, iPhones, and other devices. Late next year is when ATSC 3.0 should start commercial broadcasting.
