Starting at $19.99 per month (following a five-day free trial period<\/a>), these streamlined monthly packs were created as a way for customers to tap into their specific areas of interest (i.e. sports, entertainment) without needing to commit to the provider\u2019s more traditional offerings. Customers can either pick a favorite or mix and match for their ideal blend of TV and streaming apps.<\/p>\n DIRECTV offers six main Genre Packs<\/a>: MyEntertainment, MySports, MyNews, MyKids, MiEspa\u00f1ol and the MySports & MyNews Duo. Customers then have the option to add Mini Packs<\/a> \u2014\u00a0MySports Extra, MyCinema or MyHome Team \u2014 to qualifying base plans.<\/p>\n For a brief breakdown, MyEntertainment<\/a> ($34.99 per month) has 60-plus channels focused on, unsurprisingly, entertainment, along with subscriptions<\/a> to the Disney+, Hulu Bundle and HBO Max Basic With Ads. MySports<\/a> ($64.99 per month) has 20-plus sports networks plus an ESPN Unlimited subscription. MyNews<\/a> ($39.99 per month) has 10-plus channels focused on breaking news and information, with local channels included that vary by market. Customers can opt to bundle and save with the MySports & MyNews Duo<\/a> ($79.99 per month), which has everything offered in both the MySports and MyNews Genre Packs for just $15 more than the former (a savings of $24.99 per month compared their individual prices).<\/p>\n Got kids at home? MyKids<\/a> ($19.99 per month) gets you family-friendly live TV plus a Disney+ Basic subscription. And for the most complete Spanish-language TV channel pack \u2014 over 60 popular Spanish-language channels (including Univision and Telemundo), where available and a subscription to ViX Premium with ads \u2014 the MiEspa\u00f1ol Genre Pack<\/a> ($34.99 per month) is your pick.<\/p>\n On top of these standard Genre Packs, the three Mini-Packs<\/a> \u2014 MySports Extra ($12.99 per month), MyHome Team ($19.99 per month) and MyCinema ($9.99 per month) \u2014 can be added to qualifying base packs.
