hamrs_62 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 just got a email saying it will be going up on 11/06 to 45.00 a month, it was 25.00 a month, when att took it over it went to 35.00 for current customers, and 45.00 for new, it will soon be as much as satellite, other than antenna, are you all using satellite or something else, when I first got directvnow it was affordable, now not so much Quote Mark & Annette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefneon Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Howdy! Just got the same notice for ATTTV Now. I’m considering changing over to YouTube TV. The only problem is that some state there is a problem with moving out of your viewing area when traveling. That’s a problem as we are full timers. Would like to hear from any fulltime RVers using YouTube TV and how it works traveling. ”Happy Trails” Chiefneon Edited October 31, 2019 by chiefneon Quote "Class of 2007 Fulltimer's" Gary & karen Smoochie & Michaela (fur babies) 2018 Chevorlet 3500 HD/LTZ 2L Custom Hauler 2014 Heartland Cyclone 4000 2016 Smart Car Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelinbob Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I got tired of all the BS from Direct and cancelled and went with Dish. It's all a new learning curve but at least wont have to be on the phone with them for an hour or two every time I call them.

rbertalotto Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) The advantage of ATT-TV is if you have an ATT hotspot, there is no hit on your data. So a simple Mobley and ATT-TV and you can stream all you want for about $70 a month. I also have T-Mobile hotspot that also allows unlimited streaming of ATT-TV for when I can't get a good signal grom ATT...But recently in the past year or so this hasn't been an issue. ATT has worked everywhere I traveled. I hate to give up the T-Mobile hotspot because I'm a beta user and it only costs me $23 a month I also have Unlimited data on Verizon phone but only 15G is I use it as a hot spot. Streaming is still the future....but it has some serious growing pains.... Oh...and I tried YouTube-TV for a couple months. Didn't have the channels I wanted that ATT-TV had. Worked fine though.....Currently I unsubscribed from all streaming channels except ATT-TV and Amazon Prime Video Edited November 1, 2019 by rbertalotto Quote RoyB South of Boston 2021 Dodge 2500 - 6.4L Forest River 19RR Toy Hauler Roofnest Falcon Rooftop Tent www.rvbprecision.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StraitRVing Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 I signed up for DirecTV Now via AT&T years ago. Fifty bucks a month and nearly 100 channels. As long as I streamed through the AT&T network, it was data free. In other words, it does not count as data use. That was the huge selling point for me. I open up the app on the smartphone, connect the phone to the Roku (Bluetooth), and have the Roku connected to the TV in the RV. Perfect! Stream as much TV as I want without worrying about data limits or being throttled down. Since DirecTV was bought by AT&T, things have changed. First, the price went up. Second, the price went up again and they took away channels. Third, another price hike and again channels removed from the package. Mostly local channels this time. Latest, another price hike. What started out as $50 for 100+ channels is now $75 for 60+ channels. I have not changed my package so I still get 80+ channels. I watch about a 16 of those 80+channels. Of those 16, just over half of those channels are not available with the current AT&T TV Now plans/packages. Not worth it anymore for me. Why pay $75 for the 16 channels I do watch. It is only a matter of time before the channels that I still have that are no longer included with the current packages are dropped for good. I am left wondering what happened to AT&T.
