Yes that. Live programming means things like a local nightly news broadcast or a sporting event as its being played. At any rate, the app you have for AT&T might have some stuff remotely held on a server, but it’s primary purpose is to be a remote access to your DVR. For most people, ditching the DVR is really a decision based on whether or not you want access to live programming remotely. If you don’t really need live programming, you can usually just cut the cord and pay for a streaming service. You don’t need the former if you can get what you want from the latter.
