DirecTV Now extends free Apple TV 4K offer with 3 months of prepaid service
DirecTV has extended its popular free Apple TV 4K promotion with three months of prepaid DirecTV Now service. Plans start at $35 per month, making the 32GB Apple TV 4K with service as low as $105.
Proving to be a popular deal, DirecTV has extended the promotion, which offers new users a free Apple TV 4K with three months of prepaid DirecTV Now service. Plan start at $35 per month, making the total out of pocket cost as low as $105 plus tax for both the Apple TV 4K and three months of programming.
Considering the 32 gigabyte Apple TV 4K retails for $179 alone, this deal is $75 cheaper than paying retail, without even factoring in the included programming. Back in November, DirecTV required four months of service to secure the free Apple TV 4K, making this offer $35 cheaper than the previous holiday deal.
The streaming platform provides users with a variety of popular cable channels, including properties owned by AMC, Discovery, Disney, NBCUniversal and Viacom, among others. In November 2017, AT&T struck a deal with CBS to carry streaming and on-demand content from CBS News, CBS Sports Network, The CW, Pop and Showtime.
Along with Apple TV, DirecTV Now supports a wide variety of internet-connected devices including Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, iPhone, iPad, Android hardware, Chromecast, and Google Cast-enabled LeEco ecotvs and VIZIO SmartCast Displays. Subscribers can also access programming through web browsers.
AT&T's offer is available throughout April (while supplies last), and devices ship out within two to three weeks of placing an order.

This has been the buggiest Apple TV yet! All of my older models are great, solid devices. The 4K freezes, reboots, and sometimes gets caught in a loop and can only be rescued by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
I'm taking it to Apple this weekend to see what's up with my unit.
That said DTVnow is straight garbage. I have FIOS gigabit service and even with my ethernet connected ATV4K's.. I run into streaming issues. Both the regular and beta app constantly give issues like buffering, channels not working, errors saying I need to logout/login or just feeds dropping. It also doesnt help that the layout just sucks! I cant help but wonder has anybody developing these streaming cable tv apps EVER used a standalone cable box before? By far the most important (and what should be most visible) button is the GUIDE. Not only does DTVnow make getting to the guide an effort (it requires a couple of clicks) but scrolling up and down the guide the highlighted entry hops around so much its pretty common to click on the wrong show.
While I technically pay for DTVNow because of the free ATV4K deal.. I still greatly prefer PSVue or YouTubeTV. And PSVue has been the best streaming experience for the past few years.. but YTTV is quickly catching up. YTTV nails the guide, features and user experience.. the only real gripe I have is that its still lacking major channels like HGTV and Food network. But for those of you have jumped on the DTVnow deal.. I challenge you to give a PSV or YTTV a try.. and I can pretty much guarantee you won't ever switch back to DTVnow.
