All you need is a computer, mobile device or streaming player (Android, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, iOS, Google Chromecast or newer Rokus). Of the two services, DirecTV Now has a lower barrier to entry. In the summer of 2018, a more-expensive tier, - 100 hours of storage, with recordings that last 90 days - will launch for an extra $10 per month. By default, accounts come with 20 hours of recording capacity, and recordings last 30 days. Just bear in mind that DirecTV Now's DVR features are rolling out as a beta. For both satellite and DirecTV Now subscriptions, the presence of local channels very much depends on both your location and on DirecTV’s standing with those channels. However, no matter which package you invest in, you’ll get the basics: A&E, Bravo, CNN, Cartoon Network, Disney, History, Lifetime, Nickelodeon, Syfy and so forth. Giving an exact channel breakdown would depend on too many variables, including where you live and what kinds of packages you're willing to buy. (DirecTV offers considerable discounts to first-time subscribers, however.) There’s a flip side, though: The packages also range in price from $90 per month to $187 per month. This may sound like a lot, but even the most modest DirecTV satellite package offers a great deal more: The basic DirecTV package starts at around 145 channels, and the most extreme options range up to about 315 channels. Channel selection and costĭirecTV Now offers a variety of channel packages, ranging from Live a Little, with more than 60 channels at $40 per month, to Gotta Have It, with about 120 channels at $70 per month. Apartment dwellers or people who belong to particularly strict housing associations can probably forget about it.
While the beauty of a satellite dish is that you can use it from just about anywhere, it does mean that you’ve got to start modifying the outside of your house. While DirecTV Now is available everywhere in the United States, DirecTV is a satellite service, so you’ll need a satellite dish.
