The cheapest DIRECTV package is the ENTERTAINMENT Plan, priced at $64.99 per month, in addition to a $15 fee and taxes. You have the option to either use a satellite dish or stream content online through an internet-connected device. Opting for the satellite version entails a 2-year contract and provides access to more than 165 channels. In contrast, the streaming version offers flexibility with no contract and includes 75+ channels. When you register online, you'll receive a promotional offer of three free months for channels such as Max, STARZ®, Cinemax®, and SHOWTIME®. However, it's essential to set a reminder to cancel any channels you don't wish to continue with before the 89th day to avoid incurring additional monthly charges ranging from $6 to $15 per channel.
