Do any of the Apple TV Channels require a Cable TV service subscription? If so, which channels?
I want Apple TV for my Smart TV and my iPhones and iPad.
Apple TV 4, tvOS 12
DirecTV Now (now renamed AT&T TV Now) has an app for the Apple TV set-top box. You would need to subscribe to that to get access to their content.
You do not have to subscribe to Apple TV to use the Apple TV set-top box.
You would have to subscribe to Apple TV+ to see the special Apple TV+ shows.

The in-app Channels inside the Apple TV App do not require a cable subscription, nor can they work with that. These would require separate subscriptions, as started within the Apple TV App.
Subscribe to Apple TV channels in the Apple TV app - Apple Support
Channels that are part of a cable subscription package would need their own app, even if they can be linked through the Apple TV App.
So, one of the Apple channel offerings is DirectTV Now. This is an AT&T offering and I would need to also subscribe to DirectTV Now as well as AppleTV. Is that correct?
