AT&T recently made the baffling decision to offer two separate streaming TV services with nearly identical names and to deliver those two distinct services through one app.

Macbook lion download. Directv app is still not working. I have also reached out to AT&T and all they had to offer were suggestions and never got a solution. At the end it was go to the App Store and report the issue to the third party who created the app. Really it is your app that we use to get your service and essentially you are blaming the third party app. Way to pass the buck AT&T. Talked to several retail spots and an apple guy. The only way I could do it was to use an Apple TV. Then download the DirecTV app onto the Apple TV. There was no way to cast it otherwise. You can get a firestick or other brand but you'll have to go through another device for it to work.

This obviously had the potential to confuse consumers, as we wrote in our coverage in July. But it has turned out even worse than we expected, because AT&T itself has been calling one of the services by the wrong name in its communications with customers.

  1. Download the DIRECTV app, a companion to your DIRECTV service, and enjoy a world of entertainment. Watch Live TV and recorded shows, catch up on the latest movies and shows with On Demand, and schedule recordings on your DVR—no additional equipment needed, at no extra cost. Plus now stream DIRECTV data-free on AT&T.WATCH. Watch thousands of your favorite movies and shows, Live.
  2. As stated above, it is not supposed to work. Directv has been updating the app to fix it. You want to watch on TV, you pay for that TV on the service. The app is intended only for smartphone/tablet viewing, not to mirror over to your TV.

To recap, AT&T eliminated its DirecTV Now brand name and renamed that service 'AT&T TV Now.' AT&T also rolled out a completely new service and called it 'AT&T TV,' the same name without 'Now.' These two services, with different channel and pricing schemes, are offered through the same app called 'AT&T TV.'

While that is confusing, you'd think AT&T itself would be able to keep track of the names of its own streaming services. But that isn't the case, as AT&T is incorrectly telling customers that the old DirecTV Now service is now called 'AT&T TV.'

'The DirecTV Now you know is getting a new name. Say hello to AT&T TV,' AT&T says in its app page on both Google Play for Android and Apple's App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. 'We've rebranded DirecTV Now to AT&T TV,' the app description also says.

But that isn't accurate, and there are important differences between the service formerly known as DirecTV Now and AT&T TV. AT&T TV Now is available nationwide just like DirecTV Now was, while AT&T TV is only available in 10 cities so far.

AT&T TV is more similar to traditional cable or satellite TV than AT&T TV Now. The price is right bingo game. AT&T TV has two-year contracts, prices that rise automatically after a year, fees for activation and early termination of service, a Regional Sports Fee, and 'certain other additional fees and charges.' Both services offer a linear set of TV channels over the Internet, but AT&T TV Now has simpler pricing and no contracts.
