That high level of integration with the AT&T-owned OTT service follows a similar approach Comcast has taken with Dish Network's Sling TV OTT service.
"The addition of DirecTV Now will be an excellent complement to the existing OTT offerings on X1 and make it even more attractive to our customers," said Javier Garcia, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Comcast Cable.
"DirecTV Now's launch on Comcast's X1 is another step forward in our promise to consumers to be available on their favorite platforms," said John Stankey, CEO of AT&T's Entertainment Group "For the first time, millions of Comcast customers will have access to our new programming options as well as the full suite of DirecTV Now programming."
Pricing for DirecTV Now services on X1 will be consistent with DirecTV Now's offers on other platforms. DirecTV Now's packages start at $35 per month. ...Also see: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31337777-Price-Bad-News-For-Those-Who-Own-Your-Modem-7-50-Increase
