Along with MAX, DIRECTV also offers three free months of CINEMAX®, MGM+™, Paramount+ with SHOWTIME®, and STARZ® with the ENTERTAINMENT All Included through ULTIMATE All Included packages—that’s a $175 value.

DIRECTV PERKS program

New and existing DIRECTV customers can sign up for the new DIRECTV PERKS reward program. DIRECTV PERKS is free to join and offers customers unique rewards, content, and experiences.

Cut local channels, save money

DIRECTV is giving its customers the choice to opt out of receiving local TV stations’ feeds “for as long as they want,” and get a discount for doing so. Customers who choose cut these local channels will reduce their bills by $12 per month ($144 per year).

If you want local channels, we recommend getting a digital over-the-air antenna, which will get you all the local channels you need in most areas. For a one-time purchase, usually under $50, you’ll have free access to all local broadcast channels for life. Check out our Best Antennas for Cord Cutters guide for more recommendations.

Save up to $240 on DIRECTV

Save $10/mo. for 24 months when you sign up for DIRECTV’s CHOICE All Included, ULTIMATE All Included, or PREMIER All Included plans.
