AT&T has announced that DIRECTV NOW will at some point add support for Xbox One and Chromecast on iOS. No date has been set for the new device support, but it is in the works.
Now you may have noticed that Safari is listed. Yes, it seems that DIRECTV NOW has re-added support for Safari after listing it as one of the browsers it would be ending support for. If you want to watch DIRECTV NOW on a computer, you will need to use Chrome or Safari. Firefox and Internet Explorer will no longer be supported.
At this time DIRECTV NOW has not listed any plans to add an app for Android TV. It seems it plans to rely on the built-in Chromecast support for devices such as the Nvidia Shield.
