Yes, viewing of content on all channels is currently covered. While we don’t expect it to occur, some advertisements may not be included and could count against your usage allowance. Certain other data (metadata and background data such as program details and images) will count against your allowance. Additional activities that will count against your allowance: Browsing or searching for shows, viewing "settings", downloading or updating the app (if using mobility connection).
This offer is available to eligible AT&T customers in the United States, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands. International roaming is not included in this offer and data charges will apply.
If you’re an eligible AT&T customer, you must also subscribe to the WatchTV service and download the WatchTV app. We’ll take care of the rest. We reserve the right to change this offer at any time. We will provide advance notice if we discontinue this offer.
The free viewing feature won’t affect the quality of your video. The WatchTV app uses video optimization technology to provide a better streaming experience, and content is commonly viewable in Standard Definition quality. This is consistent with all streams in the app, however, and is not related to data free viewing.
There is no additional cost to you. It is DIRECTV’s way to say "thank you" for being a WatchTV and AT&T customer
No. Currently, this offer applies to content you view while signed in to the WatchTV app only.
Content viewed within the WatchTV app does not count towards the 22GB monthly threshold. But, once your threshold is met and you are in a congested area, network management will apply to content delivered by the WatchTV app, just like all other content delivered by the AT&T wireless network.
Content viewed within the WatchTV app will not count towards your Mobile Share Advantage or Mobile Share Value data plan allotment. However, if you reach your data allotment and you’ve exhausted your Rollover Data and any other high speed allotments (as applicable to your plan), all data usage will be slowed to 128 Kbps for the remainder of your bill cycle. You will not be able to stream video during this time. If you want more high speed data, you can change your plan.
