Can I get a free trial to DirecTV?

Yes, currently there is a five-day free trial period for new customers to test out what any of the available plans are like.

Are DirecTV users moving from Cable to streaming service?

Yes, due to current market trends, technological advances, and shifts in consumer patterns, customers prefer to stream their TV flexibly rather than be constrained by traditional Cable TV. Dubbed the 'cord-cutting' trend, people are leaving behind traditional means and opting for better, more accessible streaming plans.

Does DirecTV have an AARP discount?

No, DirecTV doesn't offer AARP discount for seniors, however there are promotional codes available to reduce your subscription costs.

What equipment do I need for DirecTV?

DirecTV is either available in its streaming form as DirecTV Stream, where all you need is an internet connection to live stream any included channels, or simply as DirecTV which, in its traditional form, requires satellite and receiver equipment to be installed and available.

Does DirecTV carry NBC?

Yes, DirecTV does carry NBC and its associated channels. Fubo used to carry it but at the end of 2025 lost the broadcast rights deal. In 2026, alongside Sling TV and YouTube TV, DirecTV is the most comprehensive TV streaming service to carry it.
