DIRECTV has a fantastic selection of channel packages to fit essentially every need. Viewers who want to combine sports, entertainment, and news channels all in the same package can do so with the service’s Signature packages, but those who only like to watch a particular kind of channel can opt for a DIRECTV Genre Pack instead. These plans exchange relatively smaller channel counts for a lower price, and the MyEntertainment Pack — with 60+ channels plus AMC+, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, and Netflix with a Gemini device — starts at just $43 before taxes and fees! Those streamers add up to over $30 in value, and we’ll show you how to take advantage of the savings below.
