Apparently Directv and Disney struck a deal ... Disney-DirecTV sign deal; viewers get more channels, mobile streaming - LA Times

Good for DirecTV... Really doesn't mean squat for AppleTV unless the deal allows people to use Disney's apps with DirecTV creds on the AppleTV...

DirecTV's 20 million U.S. customers will also be able to stream ABC and Disney's cable networks on tablets, computers and smartphones, starting in early 2015.

This would indicate that it should.

Not to mention WatchESPN.

Last month in an iMore blog entry, Chuong reported that Directv customers can now access FOX Now, FX Now, and National Geographic TV on our iOS devices and Apple TV. Missing from this list was Fox Sports Go but there are indications that it will be available soon too.

Fox Sports Go is Coming to DirecTV

I watch a lot of live sports on my iPad and finally having access to WatchESPN and Fox Sports Go is exciting.
