However, the app has largely remained unavailable on other Android TV devices with no option to download from the Google Play Store. After all, the dedicated AT&T TV player, now simply referred to as the ‘DirecTV Stream device’ runs on Android TV. While the apps have a new name, not much appears to have changed and this includes the lack of support for devices running on Android TV.įor some time now, AT&T TV has had an Android app. Those now attempting to download AT&T TV on a device will be redirected to the DirecTV Stream app instead. This is not only via the website but also in terms of the apps as well. Today, the service officially made the switch over to the DirecTV Stream branding at the user level. At the same time, a new DirecTV company was created by AT&T and TPG Capital to take over the reigns for AT&T TV, DirecTV, and U-verse.

The two-year option was then dropped and it quickly became clear that DirecTV Stream was going to be the new name.

However, that was a short-lived change with AT&T TV Now then being absorbed by AT&T TV with the latter then offering both no contract and two-year plans. First starting out as DirecTV Now, the service eventually changed to AT&T TV Now. Although DirecTV Stream is the new name, the service has gone through multiple rebrands over the years.
