Provider - AT&T TV Now / Direct TV Now

We've gotten a few reports of errors with DTVN.

Please check if you can visit nbc.com and login with your DTVN login there. Its possible their servers are suffering from an outage.

So I'm trying with my families accounts. One is a Sling account, and the other is a DirectTV Now.

Sling is pulling in like 66 channels, and DirectTV Now is pulling in around 44 with broken channels...

I thought DirectTV Now has the most TV Anywhere support?

It might depend on the package you have with DTVN. I'm on Go Big plan and getting all the channels i posted earlier.

Good point.

I'm going to double check what they have.

Realized I was using an old account. I got the credentials for her active account and now I'm pulling tons of stuff in.

Awesome stuff!

Directv Now being renamed to AT&T TV Now.

Do you need to do anything for this?

============================

Dear Michael,

We’d like to share some new changes coming to DIRECTV NOW℠!

In an effort to deliver the best service possible across our products, we will soon be reintroducing the DIRECTV NOW experience as AT&T TV NOW.

In the coming weeks, your DIRECTV NOW app will change to AT&T TV, but will continue to deliver the same great streaming entertainment. As an existing customer, your service will carry on as usual without any interruptions.

If automatic updates are not enabled on your device, you will be directed to download the updated app when you login. Simply follow the onscreen instructions and accept the Terms and Conditions to update.

There will be no changes to any network apps you’ve signed into. However, if you’ve signed into any network apps like USA, E! or ESPN and decide to sign out, you will need to select AT&T TV as your TV provider the next time you log in.

For more information on what you can expect from the change to AT&T TV, check out this FAQ.

Sincerely,
Your DIRECTV NOW Team

Don't know what kind of problems the new service will bring to existing customers.

The main thing I see is that when doing the AUTO LOGIN they need to select AT*T TV Now instead of DIRECTV Now. But maybe they just use a direct url anyway and that would not change. Just providing a heads up.

So, you need to select Att uverse? Don't see any other Att listed. Maybe that will change

That was my point in posting. You need to select AT&T TV Now which is NOT an option for Channels TVE. Maybe Channels just need to change the name to AT&T TV Now instead of DIRECTV NOW to keep both for a bit. Not sure.

Is it ATT now? Not Att tv? Very confusing. What do I select for Watch tv?

Sorry. The new service is called AT&T TV NOW. BUT, for TVE you select AT&T TV.

Read my original post on this NAME CHANGE above. That is cut/paste from the notice.

Ok, There is no Att tv as of right now

Cord Cutters has two topics today with detail information. You may want to review them. But pretty sure AT&T TV is a few months away. I am not sure how quickly DIRECTV NOW will have a NEW NAME of AT&T TV NOW since it is simply a rebranding of DIRECTV NOW. And more important is the TVE Name will be AT&T TV but again not sure when this will take affect.

This name change has no effect on Channels DVR. You can simply keep picking DIRECTV NOW inside the dvr setup.

Nick and Nick Jr channels are supported in AT&T support website but not through Channels TVE https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/directv-now/KM1222524

Also NBC and HBO Go.

They don't have live streams.

Is there a reason that HBO doesn't show up in the channel list with DirecTV Now? I subscribe to HBO and can watch it via DirecTV Now. Also, I get CNN as part of my DirectTV Now package but it says "login not supported" under that channel in the list (as with many other channels that I actually get).

Premium channels are not available via TV Everywhere.
