What features are available on AT&T TV NOW?

500 hours Cloud DVR

AT&T TV NOW includes a cloud DVR that can store of recording time for — which is less than most services. You can record individual episodes, all new episodes, or all episodes of a series. The recording starts when you hit record, not when you tuned in.

Unlike some services, you can skip commercials on recorded shows by either fast forwarding or skipping ahead 15 seconds.

You can start watching recorded content while the the show is still recording. There is no way to pad recordings, so make sure you extend your recordings to include the next episode so you don’t miss anything.

Up to 3 Devices

This service allows for three simultaneous streams (among TV devices, smartphones, tablets, and computers).

For those on a legacy [DIRECTV NOW] plan, you can increase the maximum simultaneous streams to 3 devices for $5 a month.

37 TV Everywhere Apps

Similar to traditional cable and satellite subscriptions, AT&T TV NOW includes “TV Everywhere” logins for various channels’ apps (including CNBC App, DisneyNow, Watch ESPN, FOX Now, NBC App, and USA Now).

List of Compatible Apps

On Demand

Almost all of the channels offer on demand content, with just a few exceptions (like Animal Planet) having no VOD content.

You won’t be able to fast-forward through on demand content, but you can continue watching where you left off.

We had lots of playback issues with AT&T TV NOW’s on demand content: videos would often fail to load or freeze during playback. But it seems to have improved a bit with their latest app update.

Parental Controls

AT&T TV NOW has some parental controls to help restrict content.

DIRECTV STREAM, Hulu Live TV, and Sling TV also have parental control features.

72-Hour Rewind Feature

72-Hour Rewind allows you to access shows that aired in the last 72 hours. It is available on over 30 channels (mostly cable networks). However, it has similar restrictions as on demand content (you cannot rewind or fast-forward).

Channel Surfing Feature

Channel Surfing allows you to flip through channels with your remote. AT&T TV NOW is the only streaming service that made it easy to change channels like you are watching traditional cable/satellite TV. It takes about 2.5 seconds to switch channels, which is slightly better than average.
