When I look at all my monthly streaming subscriptions, I can’t help but think back to when streaming was so much cheaper. Remember when YouTube TV was just $35 a month? When Netflix’s 4K plan cost only $12 a month? Or when Disney+ was just $7 a month? Unfortunately, those days are long gone.
That said, with the cost of streaming constantly on the rise, I’m always on the lookout for a good deal. And DirecTV might just have one of the best streaming deals available right now.
Back in 2025, DirecTV launched what it calls “Genre Packs.” Essentially, these are bundles of live TV channels that let you get the channels you actually want for less, without having to pay for one big, all-encompassing TV package.
One of these bundles is DirecTV’s MyEntertainment pack, which includes more than 60 entertainment channels, such as FX, HGTV, A&E, and Bravo, along with access to four popular streaming services. The package typically costs $43 a month, but right now, DirecTV is offering it for just $35 a month for the first two months. There’s also a five-day free trial, so you can try it beforehand to see if you like it.

DirecTV bundles 4 streaming services into its MyEntertainment pack
HBO Max and Disney+ are included
What’s unique about DirecTV’s MyEntertainment Genre Pack is that, on top of offering access to a bunch of live TV channels, it also bundles together four different streaming services: HBO Max, Disney+, Hulu, and AMC+.
The only caveat is that all four streaming services are their ad-supported versions. Still, with the streaming services alone worth more than $30/month, there’s plenty of value here.
In addition to offering a deal on its MyEntertainment pack, DirecTV is also offering introductory deals on its other Genre Packs, including MySports, which features more than 20 sports channels, such as ESPN and Fox Sports, as well as MyNews and MiEspañol.
All in all, if you’re looking for an affordable way to stream live TV and access some of the most popular streaming services, DirecTV’s $35/month deal for its MyEntertainment pack is worth a look, especially if you want to take advantage of it over the next two months during the holiday season.
Personally, I much prefer channel bundles these days. In the past, whenever I’ve signed up for a big TV package, I’ve inevitably realized that I barely watch most of the channels included. That’s why I think channel-specific bundles, like DirecTV’s Genre Packs, are a better way to get the channels I actually want to watch without spending money on ones I don’t.
