DirecTV and DirecTV Stream subscribers now have access to Cinemax, MGM+, Paramount+ with Showtime, and Starz as part of a Thanksgiving free preview. With these channels unlocked for Thanksgiving, they are only available today through Dec. 1, 2024.
During this time, however, DirecTV, DirecTV via Internet and DirecTV Stream subscribers can check out all of the additional premium content at no additional cost, and on the following channels in the live TV guide.
- Cinemax on Ch. 515-523
- MGM+ on Ch. 558-560
- Paramount+ with Showtime on Ch. 545-555
- Starz on Ch. 525-541
For those that would like to retain access to any of these additional subscription services after the conclusion of the free preview, all of them can be added to any DirecTV or DirecTV Stream live TV package for an additional monthly fee.
If adding to DirecTV Stream, Cinemax costs an additional $10.99 a month, MGM+ costs an additional $6.99 a month, Paramount+ with Showtime costs an additional $12.99 a month, and Starz costs an additional $10.99 a month.
While it can be tempting to bundle these services with an existing live TV plan, it might be worth considering signing up to them outside of DirecTV, and especially before the end of DirecTV’s Thanksgiving free preview. As many of these services are now available at a cheaper price through this year’s Black Friday deals, homes may find they can currently lock in some good savings if they sign up soon.
