Many streaming services only offer a one-size-fits-all plan for users, but we don’t all watch TV the same way. That’s why DIRECTV has a new way to stream. Customers can choose one of DIRECTV’s standard plans (with more than 100 channels), or opt for more affordable Genre Packs that focus on news, sports or entertainment. Try it out today with a free five-day trial.
Currently, DIRECTV is offering streaming for $59.99 per month, and it includes the ESPN Unlimited Plan. DIRECTV is also offering the first month of its Sports Pack free.
Original price: $89.99
DIRECTV offers customizable streaming plans, no satellite necessary. Just bring your own device and select the plan you want. Unlike competitors with fixed channels, customers can start with a Genre Pack, choosing their favorite genre so they are only paying for only the channels they actually watch. Additionally, you can supplement your Genre Pack with optional channel add-ons like HBO Max, Netflix and Hallmark+, so you get more of your favorite content.
If you do want a little bit of everything, the PREMIER streaming package offers more than 185 channels. Plus, watch live TV and stream pro and college sports, news and live show premieres. Get started with a five-day free trial with no contract tying you down.
