AT&T TV - which looks very similar to DirecTV except it's a live streaming platform rather than satellite TV - appears to have dropped its contract requirement.

It used to mirror DirecTV's new subscriber plan which locked customers into a 2-year contract, the first year of which provided a discounted price while the second year's monthly charge increased significantly.

Now, it appears, AT&T is using the streaming TV model of no contracts to lure subscribers to its streaming platform.  Although, unlike other streaming TV services it does require its own streaming device to access its service.  And, that likely requires an additional monthly charge.  Although, I'm not sure of the extra charge aspect.

You can view AT&T TV and its new "no contract" option at the link below.

I've been a DirecTV subscriber for a number of years, using our money-saving strategies to keep my monthly bill reasonable, so I've never had the opportunity to give AT&T TV a try.  And, with its previous 2-year contract, I really didn't want to.  Now, with no contract, it might be an option to consider.

If you're an AT&T TV subscriber, I'd love to know what your experience has been.  Does it deliver a quality live streaming TV experience.  And how's the DVR.  If you've been a DirecTV subscriber who's tried AT&T TV, your comparison view would definitely be beneficial.

It still looks to be on the pricier side of most live TV streaming options.  Although, that may change.  And, recently, there was an Amex Offer that provided a few months of statement credits for AT&T TV charges.  I believe there was one last year, too.

So, AT&T, after the sale of its pay-TV offerings, may be changing things up to become more competitive in the live streaming TV arena.  That would be a good thing as long as pricing is moved downward as a result of that competition.
