AT&T Launches WatchTV Skinny Bundle for $15

And once again I have to rant. What is the deal with companies announcing new products or services without actually having any details on their own websites?!? They go through all this effort to launch new products, but then they waste the initial excitement. I hopped over to att.com to find out more and hopefully order the service to test out and it's nowhere to be found.

No sports, still doesn't solve the biggest problem for cord cutters today (who like sports). You still have to go to at least the $35/mo plan for the sports. Which is still admittedly better than cable.

So now there's streaming under the AT&T umbrella (directvnow) from $15 to $70. I have the full DirecTVNow package, and it's great. Saves me about $100/month and removes cable boxes, dvrs etc. They just implemented a 12-hour cloud dvr built into the app. Very nice service.

I noticed no ESPN. This might have helped get the price down. Good riddance.

Are there commercials? If so, it's still too expensive. I will never go back to paying both money and attention.

This study conflates starting <i>any</i> business with a starting a startup aiming to raise VC $$ and become a $100M+ business.<p>I&#x27;d venture there are hell of a lot more startups now than there were 15 or 20 years ago.<p>Other data indicates that the number of folks no longer starting a typical small business for reasons that are multivariate and its a trend that started in the 1970s, so has very little to do with Google&#x2F;FB&#x2F;Amaz&#x2F;Apple&#x2F;MSFT, and probably much more to do with the change in anti-trust enforcement which allowed the creation of predatory megacorps like Walmart.

Checked to see how the lineup compares to the hulu live streaming (which is admittedly twice the the price), and don&#x27;t see any reason to switch for me personally.<p>Main reasons being: 1. No FX or FXX (Fargo, Legion, Always Sunny) 2. No USA (Mr Robot)<p>I actually don&#x27;t care about sports, but being able to watch the east coast stream of Mr Robot live was actually the reason I signed up for that Hulu live stream in the first place. Kept it because sometimes CNN or HGTV are decent background noise.

Be careful if you&#x27;re already on ATT unlimited plans, they remove stuff like HBO for life if you &quot;upgrade&quot; to %More, which is 5$ more a month as well.

What’s old is new again. This is similar to Sprint’s Powervision offering...from 2005.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pcmag.com&#x2F;article2&#x2F;0,2817,1880163,00.asp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pcmag.com&#x2F;article2&#x2F;0,2817,1880163,00.asp</a><p>It worked decently well on the high end feature phones of the day. You could get 15-20 FPS.

It&#x27;s not launched if you can&#x27;t buy it, and I can&#x27;t find a link to buy it.

Maybe these guys are related to the offering? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mobitv.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mobitv.com</a>

it&#x27;s still 5$ more than netflix. And, i don&#x27;t this whole tv stuff well enough, but is this that channel programming nonsense, where shows come on at a specific time and you have to watch it at that time? or is it normal, where you can watch any show anytime?
