DIRECTV STREAM boasts a respectable 65,000 on-demand titles in its catalog. It offers four different plans ranging from 65+ to 140+ channels. All plans include such popular channels as HBO, ESPN, and news channels for every political persuasion. DIRECTV STREAM can also be part of your overall smart home design, with voice-activated control provided through Google Assistant. A Google Assistant device is provided when you sign up for DIRECTV STREAM service. The device allows you to search across on-demand and live TV, in addition to your favorite music and gaming apps.

DIRECTV STREAM supports many popular viewing devices. You can access service directly via the internet or purchase DIRECTV's proprietary streaming device to enjoy such features as Google voice control. Subscribers can stream on up to twenty devices simultaneously with the purchase of the streaming device.  

If you're a fan of premium channels, you may find DIRECTV STREAM's Premier Plan a great choice because it provides access to pretty much all of them, with no additional premium channel fees. With its two mid-priced plans, the company offers three months of free HBOMax viewing. If you choose the company's Premier plan, HBOMax is free for as long as you subscribe.

If you choose DIRECTV's top-of-the-line Premier plan, DIRECTV STREAM is one of the most expensive TV streaming services on the market. However, the features offered by the Premier plan may well justify the price for many viewers. The company also offers less expensive plans to match your budget, as well, with prices and features that are in line with other competitors' plans. With no long-term contract required, TV fans can try out the service risk-free, which is something not all TV streaming services offer.
