    They took off the option to sign in with uverse to watch on the mlb app.. can only sign in to watch if you have DirectTV, windstream, or consolidated communication...

    Most channels have their own app that allows you to access these feeds.

    ROOT was pretty mediocre, and with the upcoming re-brand they intentionally didn't put much effort into developing that sort of app.

    My guess is that AT&T should/will have their own sports app/website that will allow you to access the streams.

    Can't Uverse subscribers stream their content remotely anyways?

    I know Comcast allows it, but you have to be on your home network... for which a sling-box is a quick workaround for that.

    I believe direcTV also allows you to... but not all channels.

    The technology has been there for some time, so its really annoying that the only thing holding it back is silly logistics of cable and satellite companies signing contracts to allow it.

    Has anyone used the Root Sports app recently? Like this past 2017-2018 season?

    It's the At&t SportsNet app and I'm using it right now to stream the Astros game on my tablet while watching the Texans game.
