DIRECTV is offering consumers a way to stream its content without the need for a satellite dish, introducing flexible streaming plans and genre packs. Customers can now choose from a variety of packages designed to cater to different viewing habits, with options to pay only for the channels they wish to watch.

The service is currently promoting its streaming option at $59.99 per month, which includes the ESPN Unlimited Plan. Additionally, new customers can receive the first month of the Sports Pack for free. DIRECTV is also providing a five-day free trial for its streaming service, allowing users to experience the platform before committing.
