Had Hulu for about 6 months, with "no ads", which actually has ads on the live tv. Sometimes the commercials can be fast forwarded thru, but most often not. User interface is way too complicated, and even now we still have problems finding desired content. Only have it for live local news, Fox Business News, and SEC football. Cost of about $55/month is way too much and will be signing off Hulu this month and going to another source for football. Can now get so much Fox News and Fox Business News on KZread that I no longer need Hulu.

I signed up for the DirecTVNow $35/mo launch deal. They raised the price twice for what we all were given the impression was a locked in price. No idea why I’m still a customer. I really need a new Live TV streaming service.

C. K. Good question. I went from $35 to either $40 or $45 and the last one went up to $50. I never had HBO included in my plan, but it was only a $5/mo add on which was great. Not as many Live HBO channels were included with it tho, but the on demand worked great.

They also have the worst customer service of any company that I've had to deal with and it isn't even close. They don't even try and despite the decades of complaints have never done anything to improve their customer service in all branches of their businesses.

I've kept all original hard copies & recorded grandfathered contracts signed by 3 DTVN managers. DTVN has "attempted " twice in 2 yrs to increase my GoBig package fee but after I presented them with my original contract and threatened them with breach of contract through the FTC, TX ST ATTY GEN OFC, FCC, and BBB,....DTVN apologized and backed down! Find your original contract and defend your $35 GoBig and $5 HBO grandfathered monthly fee. Don't allow this DTVN bullying! Keep fighting! Good luck!

Figured there was a catch with the ESPN part. Sounded too good to be true.

I stream video at our cabin on 2.78 MBit down and .5 up. So the Comcast plan sounds pretty darn good. Wish I had that option at our cabin.

I still have the Go Big Package on DTVNow and it’s $49.99 +tax. I have not received an email about losing it or changes but I also have not asked or agreed to any promotions like you mentioned

Left Directv 3 yrs ago. Never looked back.

They touch my grandfathered, I’m gone. Bad enough they raised the price $10.

I got the direct TV now back in September when there was those multiple price (channels) packages (I hit the just right 85 channels for $55) then they changed it to the 2 packages. Just curious if I'll be grandfathered in 😱

I think AT&T may have an error in their automated emails. I think they are trying to let people know that the $10 credit per month promotion is coming to an end but the system is telling them that the price will be what it would currently be if you're not on the grandfathered plan. My recommendation is to check your account under account settings to see what it says your next bill will be.

i would take the 12.99 deal cause if you take 12.99 divide buy 3 thats 4.33 a piece..and we like the disney movies and we have hulu, got a son that likes sports..so thatll work for us

Left them since the increase from $35 to $55, switched to Philo and iptv, cheaper than before, couldn't be happier. AT&T lied though, $35 was supposed to be lifetime.

If you could a time stamp on each story it would be great!

ok when you said bad news for grandfathered packages I thought you meant id lose the channels. I signed up months before the new packages, never signed up for such promotion

I didn’t have the promotional pricing, but ATT better resolve the issue with CBS if they want subscribers.

Yes I lost my discounts. I don’t know if I’m a grand fathered customer. How do find out?

I signed up for Direct TV now when they had a $35 plan back in December 2016. They offered a free Apple TV and I couldn’t refuse. They promised that the plan would stay at $35 but since then, as another KZread commenter here said, the price has increased. It is now $45 a month. Do you know if at&t will be changing this plan? I would be extremely upset if this happened as I was promised that the $35 would never change.

when will they be offering this Disney + and hulu ,ESPN deal bc yohr absolutely right IT'S A GREAT DEAL EVEN IF YOU DONT WATCH ALL 3 will they have an app for the streaming devices mainly Roku...

That weird I have the old Live A Little AT&T Now(Directv Now) for $27.29 with HBOskinny and 20 hours of DVR. It appears my grandfathered package is still working. I originally signed up when they were giving away Apple TVs

I lost the $35 per month deal when I left DirecTV Now for a year. (It was too buggy at first). But I came back at $55 before they changed the packages. So I am paying $65 now for Just Right package. Its not a great deal, but its still a decent deal. Its still about $10 a month cheaper than what I can get on cable and its the only cord cutting package that has every channel I want. But if At&t increases the price again OR removes my grandfathered channels I will switch to either Fubo TV or Sling TV.

My son just got fiber at his house. It is lightning fast. Netflix movies download instantly. He only pays $50 per month for it.

I've had Xfinity essentials for three years now it's pretty good. But I did eventually go to Verizon FiOS internet it cost more but you can tell the speed difference. I have 4k tvs.

Directv Now is changing names to ATT TV Now.

I'm dropping Hulu this month mainly because I only use it to watch network shows and PS Vue has now finally added all four networks in my area but I would be very interested in the Disney, Hulu ESPN + bundle if its for real

We have HULU Plus commercial free On-Demand only. We tried their Live TV but liked KZread TV more. All TV shows are recordings so seeing it broadcasted at 8 PM with 20% commercials or commercial free 5 AM the next morning to us was a no brainier. The only things LIVE on TV are most News, some Sports and the rare Special Events. Everything else is a VOD/recording.

I have Hulu No ad's. will not get live tv because they don't have hallmark.

From what I've heard so far about Disney+ and what they are offering it doesn't really do anything for me. I don't like comic books, I never liked Disney cartoons and I will just have to see what their other offerings are. I'm also not that interested in ESPN+ because I don't watch boxing anymore and I never really liked MMA. Hulu is okay but they never really had a lot of programming that I wanted to see other than two or three old TV shows that I can also get on Prime Video. Netflix still has shows like Mindhunter that I really like and they have more documentaries. For now I'll be sticking with Prime and Netflix.

Still waiting on KZread TV to come to the FireStick

If they raise the price again I'm either going to hulu live tv or KZread TV. I had a free trial of both and thoss apps are just developed beautifully. Even pluto works and looks better than direct TV now.

I'm not a Directv or AT&T customer, but isn't this tactic going to help them lose customers?

I think programs like Comcast's "Internet Essentials" really feel like a kick in the balls to middle income Americans.. I agree with it for elderly and veterans but not for low income across the board. Maybe its because I live near Massachusetts which is a total welfare abuse state. I see so many in MA that choose not to work yet are given food/housing/healthcare for free. They get it for $9.95 but your average middle income person has to pay 5X to 8X more for the lowest option.

I spent hours today looking for a better package deal and still am not happy. I received my monthly ATT billing email today and it went up $62 ! Went from $137 to 199 because the promo ended. They never informed me the promo was ending! Rip-off! Negotiated slightly downgraded plan and price, and they did take $50 off current bill, but that is prorated partial. So next months bill will still include partial rip-off price, along with new rate. I called Spectrum because of an ad but their prices aren't any better! Frustrated!

My DirecTV Now promotion is ending, so I'll be switching to Hulu + Live TV. I would have been OK paying the $50 for the grandfathered DTV Now package I had, but they lost CBS and ABC so I'm moving on.
