As is typically the case with DirecTV free previews, customers don’t have to do anything to activate the free preview, with the live channels and on-demand content automatically unlocked.

For those unsure of what to stream first, MGM+ is home to a variety of popular movies and series—including the recently released-to-streaming box office smash, Project Hail Mary.
