At some point the 'AT&T TV Now' brand will go away but the service itself is really just a different packaging of the main AT&T TV service. Both even use the same app. Who knows how it'll play out. I do think that folks on those discounted grandfathered plans will get booted off of them at some point. With AT&T Watch TV being on the cheaper end of DIRECTV and DIRECTV taking some of the higher end of DIRECTV NOW there seems little reason to have a third live TV service filling the middle. It is likely that at some point in the future DIRECTV NOW will just go away, especially with AT&T expecting it to lose subscribers soon. Directv review with 225 Comments: Direct Tv has lost MeTV. It is available on our local cable provider, I don't understand why they lost it. I asked them about it and they didn't get back to me.

• Randy Carpenter (@randycarp) reported from Strongsville, Ohio

  So I already pay a lot of money each month to @DIRECTV. But it seems every channel I go to they spend a lot of time trying to get me to sign-up for their streaming service. So what am I watching if the good stuffs behind the firewall?

• Gabriel Richardson (@ousooner4) reported

  @DIRECTV your customer service is a joke. On hold for 20 minutes, now the phone has been ringing for 20. Does anybody work there?

• Jeremy Goldstein (@thejgoldstein) reported

  @att @directv You still haven't fixed the issue with @hbo. I'm going to sign up directly with them. Please credit my account $20/month going forward.

• Dr. Tara Hines-McCoy (@IamDrTara) reported

  Returned as a customer to@DIRECTVService to be frustrated day 1 of installation. Directv does not hold their account sales team members accountable for the misinformation they provide to customers. At this juncture, we have spoke w/3 different people + install tech. No resolve.

• Scott Orr (@scottorr300) reported from Dallas, Texas

  Hey there @DIRECTV your installer just yelled unprovoked, 'F**k you Mother F**ker' at my son while installing your system in his home, just because the order was changed by you midstream. Is this how you normally treat your customers? Just curious who you hire. #att #directtv

  Macos catalina tutorial. I have used @ATT and @DIRECTV for years and they have always been great. But.. I recently moved and getting my service moved has been an absolute nightmare. I have spent more than a working day on the phone trying to get my service moved. I ended up having to cancel my old

• Teddi (@mstj55) reported

  @AdamParkhomenko Yes! The FTC needs to shut them down. Ip camera viewer. @DIRECTV , ATT, Comcast, etc. should cut them off.

• Thomas Crescenzi (@CrescenziThomas) reported

  @EWErickson Ugh. I noticed that not only do we have OAN on @DirecTV, but also Newsmax. Why are they wasting satellite bandwidth on this garbage?

• Ernest Owens (@MrErnestOwens) reported

  To double-down and further clarify, this also goes for @DIRECTV, @verizonfios, @dish, who also has both or one of these types of channels. I am calling on subscribers to contact these people now and declare they be removed. I just got off the phone with Comcast. Acer games free.

• pandemilovato (@lawren_notloren) reported

  i've changed my password twice and still unable to log in. fix it quickly @ATT @DIRECTV @DIRECTVService

• Joester (@beggemoot77) reported

  @DIRECTV oan needs to be removed from your service

• Choomba (@Choomba4) reported

  @DIRECTV @MaskedDancerFOX @FOXTV What's the point of your service? On demand and certain shows being blocked behind a paywall all of a sudden. Such a shady thing to do. Why would anyone pay for this when they can just pay for all those streaming services separately and not deal with your contract bs? Dumb move.

DirecTV has been on the pay TV landscape since 1994 and its influence on entertainment and sports cannot be measured. It's had the NFL Sunday Ticket pay per view package almost since its inception and carries an extremely large stick when it comes to making or breaking a sports network (see Pac-12 Networks). Now comes word that owner AT&T has launched DirecTV's last satellite.

Now, does this mean that the DirecTV satelllite service is going away? Certainly not in the short term, but definitely in the long term. DirecTV won't be launching new satellites and when its old birds die, they won't be replaced. It means that eventually AT&T will want its customers to move to streaming and there's word that there will be a streaming version of DirecTV launching in 2019. This DirecTV streaming service is not to be confused with the already existing DirecTV Now and WatchTV services.

The streaming version of DirecTV will not require the satellite dish on your roof, but will still need a set-top box. This 'new DirecTV' will look like that the present one, but details are still rather sketchy:

Details are still thin on exactly what the new DIRECTV streaming service will look like. We also don't know when DIRECTV satellite will come to an end but that likely is years down the road. Apple os x mavericks 10 9 download.

Direct Tv Going Away

The news of the last satellite launch came on November 29 when AT&T Communications CEO John Donovan made the announcement to analysts. DirecTV has about 20 million subscribers, but that number has been falling over the last few years. To top it off, DirecTV expects to have its subscribers start moving over to the streaming side next year with a self-installed box.

AT&T CFO John Stephens spoke (November 14) at the Morgan Stanley European Technology, Media and Telecom Conference and discussed DirecTV's new premium streaming TV process.

'It's a device that allows us to, instead of rolling a truck to the home, we roll a UPS or FedEx truck to the home and deliver a self-install box. This allows the customer to use their own broadband. We certainly hope it's our own fiber but it could be on anybody's broadband. And they get the full-service premium package that we would normally deliver off satellite or over our IP-based U-verse service,' Stephens said.

Whether or not NFL Sunday Ticket will be part of the new DirecTV is anyone's guess, but as we head into a new decade, the days of satellite TV are numbered and for AT&T, it's part of a move to the future and it's not looking back.
