AT&T TV service launches as a cord-cutting version of DirecTV

The AT&T TV online TV service has rolled out nationwide today following its introduction in some markets last year.

It essentially offers the same channels as DirecTV (bar NFL Sunday Ticket) but over the internet (via an Android TV box) as opposed to a satellite dish. The service is no doubt a response to AT&T's shrinking satellite business in an increasingly online world.

Prices for an AT&T TV contract start at $49.99/month, for the 'Entertainment' tier for the first 12 months within a two-year agreement, although if you want regional sports and premium movie access you'll want to check out the two more expensive tiers, 'Choice' and 'Xtra'. You can see each's full channel list here. Be warned, though, that after the first year, the monthly price goes up for the second year.
