DIRECTV via Internet Cost and Subscription Pricing

What Is DIRECTV via Internet? How Does it Work?

DIRECTV via Internet is a live TV streaming service. The idea is that DIRECTV is a cable alternative, so instead of signing up for cable or satellite TV, you can get DIRECTV via Internet.

Why would you choose DIRECTV over cable or satellite? For starters, it offers the same basic features. Like cable, DIRECTV via Internet comes with live network TV channels, including local channels, sports channels, news channels, and all the rest of your favorites. You can channel surf, record things on DVR, and do all the other good stuff you can do with cable. As with cable, the channels are bundled together and sold in big chunks.

Streaming services such as DIRECTV via Internet have a few advantages over cable. Since they stream online, you can watch them on all sorts of connected devices — including mobile devices. You won’t have to worry about a cable box (or any pesky cable box fees), and you’ll be able to watch DIRECTV via Internet on all your smart TVs and streaming devices. Since there are no contracts, you can call it quits anytime.

DIRECTV competes with other live TV streaming services, such as Sling TV. DIRECTV’s competition doesn't vary too wildly — YouTube TV’s prices are similar to DIRECTV, for example, and Hulu’s channel list includes many of the same networks as DIRECTV — but there are some important differences, which is why we review all of the options to rate them and rank the best streaming services.
