From ATT... if cannot have DirecTv dish, then the other tv option is ATT TV, a streaming service that uses your internet provider. Your internet speed should be 25 or greater to use ATT TV as each stream recommends using 8.
If have ATT internet 25 or greater, or have local cable company internet should have enough bandwidth to stream the service.
Are you concerned about where and how dish would be installed outside? Or do you have a landlord/HOA being difficult? If the latter, be aware that they cannot forbid you from having satellite service as you are allowed to install in places under your exclusive control per Federal regulations (OTARD).
Landlords cannot forbid. However, what they can do is make the tenant financially responsible for damages. If the installer needs to screw the dish to the outside of the wall/roof, that could be construed as damage.
I believe *some* HOAs can forbid. They can do almost anything from restricting flags, mandating the days/times at which grass can he mowed...even a sign for first responders that says "two elderly people and their cat live here" can be banned.
But yeah, the only options AT&T offers to new customers are:
DirecTV.
AT&T TV. (Similar to Hulu and YTTV, but has regional sports channels.)
It is my opinion that HOAs wield too much power. I should still be able to buy a home without having to agree that my nosy snobbish neighbors can dictate absurd rules that I must follow or be penalized (both financially and social ostracizing).
At the place I'm living at the dish can't be attached to a building it would have to be a sled mount alternative. Plus. A personal liability policy in the amount of $1,000,000.00 must be provided prior to installation and must remain in force while the satellite dish or antenna remains installed.
Sled mount, pole mount, tripod, bracketed to railing, etc. are understandable options. As for the liability policy...A MILLION???? Do they think this is Buckingham Palace? All for a simple satellite receiving dish?

And my distaste for HOAs goes up higher.
