Streaming service AT&T TV launches nationwide, but isn’t meant for cord cutters

AT&T is expanding its streaming strategy with the launch of a new, nationwide TV service, AT&T TV, delivered over the internet. Not to be confused with AT&T TV Now — AT&T’s over-the-top live TV service aimed at cord-cutters, previously called DirecTV Now — the new service is more of an alternative to AT&T’s DirecTV.
The company apparently believes it can access an untapped sweet spot in between those who just want to use streaming apps and those who want a traditional pay-TV service, like cable or satellite television. To cater to this audience, AT&T TV offers hundreds of live TV channels, plus 40,000 on-demand titles, and 500 hours of DVR space on a set-top box.
