AT&T has already confirmed that it’s going to launch its standalone TV streaming service under the DirecTV Now brand this month. According to a new report, the company is going to try and entice people to sign up for its new service by offering them incentives such as a free Apple TV or a free Fire TV stick from Amazon. Customers may have to commit to being a subscriber for a select number of months to get the streaming device that they would rather have.
Variety reports that AT&T is going to offer a free Apple TV or Amazon Fire TV Stick to those who subscribe to its DirecTV Now streaming service. People who commit to being subscribers for at least three months might be offered the free Apple TV while those who pay for only a single month may be given a free Fire TV stick.
The report also mentions that DirecTV Now could feature channels from networks that haven’t been previously confirmed, such as Fox, CBS, and Univision.
AT&T and DirecTV have not commented on this report as yet so there’s no clarity on whether channels from these networks will be available on DirecTV Now when the service eventually goes like later this month.
