AT&T is renaming its streaming video service yet again to DirecTV Stream

Published

on

According to the report of The Verge, AT&T will rename its video streaming services, including AT&T TV, AT&T TV Now, and AT&T Watch TV, to “DirecTV Stream” on August 26. It seems to be part of an effort to establish a new type of company video architecture, which was officially launched in the new company in early August.

Since 2019, AT&T has included a confusing set of product launches and innovation efforts used by both AT&T and DirecTV brands. The company’s real effort in a separate TV streaming service is called DirecTV Now.

You can use it with your broadband internet connection and it didn’t require a set-top box. This service was redesigned as AT&T TV Now but was eventually discontinued by AT&T TV, a service that brought live TV content online, but required a dedicated set-top box for Android TV, making it a sensible fan in the U of AT&T TV service.

Those new terms and services have made it appear that AT&T has decided to drive around the trailer with an AT&T brand via online video. But the company still has DirectTV, its traditional satellite TV service.

Now it seems that the decision has been made to use this product with the maturity of video services, thus finally clearing away any confusion surrounding which company is responsible for delivering content to your home. Starting August 26, if you get TV via satellite, it’s DirecTV, and if you get it online (with a dedicated or free set-top box), it will be DirecTV Stream.

It is too early to say whether the new company will adjust any of its packages or pricing to make it more competitive, but there is certainly no shortage of people who want to watch live TV without a cable or satellite. YouTube TV, FuboTV, Hulu + and Live TV, and Sling TV are just some of the live TV streaming services you can find nationwide.

At the same time, Locast becomes a more attractive option for people looking for an easy way to view their local over-the-air (OTA) channels without having to purchase, install, and make an over-the-air (OTA) antenna or purchase an OTA receiver.

Telegram rolling out Sticker Editor, 16 more new features on the way!

Telegram Edit Sticker

Telegram announced the launch of a powerful Sticker Editor feature. This upgrade allows all Telegram users to create their own stickers without the requirement of any other application.

According to Telegram, the new Sticker Editor feature allows users the ability to quickly create stickers and entire sticker sets. All this will be done within Telegram – you don’t have to even switch the application.

Notably, WhatsApp recently released a custom sticker creator feature for customers. A step ahead, Telegram introduced an even more powerful variant of the sticker creator to stand apart.

To create a sticker, you just have to take an image from your phone’s Gallery. Once picked, a single tap will make a cutout for you, making it easier to add text, drawings or stickers, emojis, and GIFs that exist on Telegram.

  • How to create: To start making stickers, open the sticker panel from your input field in any chat, then tap the inviting (+) button.

Once made, you can also create the sticker to a set, which is not possible in WhatsApp. To do so, choose the emojis that describe its emotion, however, you will also get AI-based suggestions that suit your sticker.

When you type an emoji in the chat, you will get your own sticker in the suggested section. You will also be able to share your sticker set, the same way you currently do, just send any of the stickers to the recipient, and voila!

Telegram will be launching 16 more new features this month. The platform hasn’t shared any additional details about the changes, however, we expect most of the features to be available for all, rather than Premium exclusivity.

Huawei Pura 70

Huawei today announced a major revamp in its camera flagship naming strategy. Huawei revealed that the P series is getting rebranded as the Pura series, with the next phones being named Huawei Pura 70, Pura 70 Pro, Pura 70 Pro Plus, and Pura 70 Ultra.

Despite having fresh branding, Android’s lack will hurt the Huawei Pura 70 the most. Samsung’s Galaxy S introduces the most powerful and advanced camera to the market. However, the Android operating system is unquestionably a reason behind Samsung’s success.

Recently, Huawei officially confirmed the P series has been killed off, and the upcoming phone releases as the “HUAWEI Pura 70” series. Despite US sanctions and the lack of Android, the Chinese phone maker continues to innovate the mobile segment.

The last year’s P60 series also brought some notable camera hardware, which also got praised. For the Pura lineup, the company noted that the HUAWEI P series has been “upgraded” to the HUAWEI Pura, complete with a “new attitude.”

HUAWEI’s Pura 70 series could be split into these four devices:

  1. Pura 70
  2. Pura 70 Pro
  3. Pura 70 Pro Plus
  4. Pura 70 Ultra
