Directv vs. Sling TV genre-specific packages: Which gives you more?
Directv challenges Sling TV’s inexpensive live TV streaming plans with its own skinny bundles. We’ve compared them head-to-head.
Sling TV has long been a streaming leader in add-on channel bundles, offering several genre-specific packs to supplement its basic channel lineups. But now Directv is getting in on the action with Genre Packs, which are essentially skinny bundles focused on sports, entertainment, news, and Spanish channels — and they’re all less expensive than Directv’s standard plans.
Sling TV and Directv’s channel add-on packages aren’t quite the same beast, but if you’re looking for a thriftier live TV streaming alternative to the more expensive options like YouTube TV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, these cost-concious options are worth checking out.
So to help you save some money, The Streamable is diving into checked Directv and Sling TV’s genre pack add-ons — here’s what we found.
5-Day Free Trial $84.99+ / month directv.
