Why You’ll Love AT&T TV

From there, choose from thousands On Demand titles and live shows, access 5,000+ apps, and take your recordings with you with the AT&T TV remote app. In other words, kick boredom to the curb.

As an added bonus, you can even try AT&T TV for fourteen days with no strings attached. In the unlikely event it’s not for you, you can return everything and get a full refund.
