A deep-dive into DIRECTV's Genre Pack.

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Beyond its four main streaming Signature Packages, DIRECTV has a slew of Genre Packs just waiting to be explored, made specifically to save prospective subscribers money on channels they’ll actually want to watch.

Our favorite of the bunch is the MyEntertainment, a pack that’ll run subscribers just $42.99 a month. Once subscribed, users will gain access to 60+ channels focused specifically on entertainment, with a lineup that features popular channels such as Adult Swim, CNN, the Discovery Channel, FX, Bravo, BET, ID, the History Channel and so much more. To sweeten the deal even further, subscribers will also gain access to Disney+, Hulu Bundle and HBO Max Basic With Ads all in one place. No additional subscription fee necessary1.

Even better news, new customers can take advantage of a five-day free trial so you can test out the package before committing2. (Access to HBO Max content begins after trial.)

In short, this genre package is made for those who want to focus on saving money on streaming while getting the best bang for their buck. Some of our favorite music-oriented movies and shows are available through this genre pack, including Dance Moms, the Love & Hip Hop franchise, Pose, The School of Rock, Grease and The Sound of Music and Soundtracks: Songs That Defined History.

Just to reiterate, this genre pack is different from DIRECTV’s streaming packages because it focuses primarily on a specific genre of channels all in one place, hence the name. In general, this package, along with the other genre packs, is less expensive than the streaming packages. These genre packs also include fewer channels than the streaming packages, since the streaming packages are meant to replicate the wide breadth of channels you’d get with cable.

The MyEntertainment genre pack is a ShopBillboard favorite, especially if you’re looking to tune in to music-oriented shows and films. If you’re seeking out something different, DIRECTV also offers a MySports genre pack for sports lovers, a MyKids genre pack to keep your little ones entertained and even a MyNews pack for those looking to keep informed.
