DIRECTV MyEntertainment Genre Pack: Full Channel Lineup, Pricing, and Mini Review

✦ Edited and fact-checked by Managing Editor Mike Strayer, our editorial lead with 11+ years covering TV and streaming.

As DIRECTV pivots from its satellite roots to a streaming-first identity, the DIRECTV MyEntertainment plan has emerged as the savvy middle ground for cord-cutters who want premium content without the triple-digit price tag.

By ditching the bloat of traditional packages, this genre-specific bundle focuses on high-quality drama, reality, and lifestyle hits. It’s a modular approach to TV that lets you pay for what you actually watch, rather than subsidizing 150 channels of “filler” content.

What is the DIRECTV MyEntertainment plan?

Launched in 2025 as part of a major service overhaul, the MyEntertainment genre pack is a contract-free streaming plan priced at a very affordable $34.99/mo.

It specifically targets viewers who prioritize prestige TV and movies over expensive, sports-heavy lineups.

The real kicker? This plan includes built-in, ad-supported subscriptions to Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max at no extra cost.

When you factor in the market value of those apps, you’re effectively getting a decent live channel lineup for less than the price of a pizza night with your family.

MyEntertainment full channel lineup

The DIRECTV channel lineup for this genre pack includes 60+ channels geared toward pop culture enthusiasts. Recent expansions added millennial favorites like CLEO TV and heavy hitters like AMC to the roster.

Local broadcast channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX) are generally not included in the MyEntertainment base pack to keep costs low. You can often add them via the DIRECTV MyNews genre pack or simply use an over-the-air antenna.

Is the MyEntertainment pack worth it?

According to the CableTV.com 2026 Live TV Streaming Customer Satisfaction Survey, DIRECTV has officially unseated YouTube TV as the top-rated provider, boasting an 82% satisfaction rating.

What’s more, compared to the DIRECTV ENTERTAINMENT plan ($84.99/mo.), the MyEntertainment pack saves you $50.00 every month. In his 2025 review of MyEntertainment, Senior Staff Writer Randy Harward remarked:

“I’m usually not wild about streaming plans with ads, but […] DIRECTV’s MyEntertainment genre pack is a fantastic deal if you’re on a budget.”

While you lose some sports networks, the inclusion of Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max makes it one of the best deals on the market.

Pros:

• No annual contracts or long-term commitments.
• Includes over $25/mo. worth of streaming app subscriptions.
• Features the most popular drama and reality networks.

Cons:

• No local channels included in the base price.
• Lacks major sports networks (like ESPN or FS1).
