Edit: skimmed a couple of opinion stories on this, it sounds like a large portion of the current subscribers hate needing DirecTV to watch Sunday Ticket and it has limited subscribers. If Apple makes it easier to access content on non-Apple devices (already on some sCumcast cable boxes), they could double the number of subscribers. I wonder if this will trigger another round of antitrust hearings in Congress.
There was some version of it (via DirecTV) that was internet based and didn't require any DirecTV hardware. But it probably didn't have any DVR features like you might have access to with an actual DirecTV subscription. It was $200/season when I had it a few years ago.
Apple TV+ is available as an app on Roku, so it's certainly easy to access without an Apple device.
What I wonder is, will this be included in the $5/mo subscription, or will it be an additional purchase? If it's included in the regular subscription, that will make an ATV+ subscription an absolute deal for anyone coming from DirecTV Sunday Ticket package.
The app is also available on Fire TV and most newer smart tv's.
