hey everybody I'm back with a streaming
0:01
alert and it's a new bundle option from
0:04
Direct TV this one is called my sports
0:07
and it's in beta at recording time the
0:10
key details this streaming bundle
0:12
includes access to 40 Sports and
0:15
broadcast channels for now it's
0:18
available in select cities only only 24
0:22
Metro areas more to come and Direct TV
0:25
says additional genre specific plans are
0:28
on the way in the first half of the Year
0:31
let me take you to Direct TV streams
0:33
website the my sports plan is listed
0:36
right at the top the normal price $70 a
0:39
month there's an introductory rate
0:41
though $50 a month for the first 3
0:44
months the service also comes with a
0:47
free trial which I'll link to below I
0:49
want to dive into the channel lineup and
0:51
what you actually get with this service
0:54
I'm seeing ESPN sports networks Fox
0:57
owned Sports networks as well as the
1:00
Turner networks owned by Warner
1:02
Discovery so TBS TNT and True TV USA is
1:06
also on this list and there are several
1:09
news channels in this Sports bundle
1:12
local channels will vary by City
1:14
initially this plan is going to include
1:16
stations owned and operated by ABC Fox
1:20
and NBC the service says more locals
1:24
additional networks and ESPN plus are
1:27
going to be added to the plan soon at at
1:30
no extra cost when you go to Direct TV
1:33
streams website which I'll link to below
1:35
you can enter your zip code and see the
1:38
available channels including any locals
1:41
that will be included with the mys
1:43
sports plan I want to give some initial
1:45
thoughts on whether this new mysports
1:48
plan is going to be worth it here is the
1:51
regular price for that plan and then
1:53
compare that to the starting price for
1:56
premium live TV services which include a
1:58
more well-rounded channel selection
2:01
there is a savings but it is not
2:03
terribly significant I've been using
2:05
this example on the channel lately it's
2:08
the 13 musthave channels from a viewer
2:11
named Caleb broadcast TV and cable
2:14
sports that's all he watches the red
2:17
Post-its represent channels where you
2:19
needed a premium live TV service to
2:22
watch yellow Post-its mean you can watch
2:25
some live TV or OnDemand content outside
2:28
of the bundle and green represents
2:30
channels that you can stream 24/7 live
2:34
outside of a premium live TV service so
2:37
here's a look at Caleb's channels in the
2:39
context of the new Direct TV stream my
2:42
sports plan you can see the difference
2:45
immediately there's a whole lot more
2:47
green meaning that there's an option
2:49
outside of traditional premium live TV
2:52
services as many as 11 of Caleb's 13
2:55
musthave channels are included really
2:58
just depends on the local local stations
3:01
his two channels not included are CBS
3:04
and the CW Now even though this looks
3:06
better we've got a whole lot more green
3:08
Direct TV streams my sports plan a
3:11
skinny bundle if you even want to call
3:13
it that is not skinny in price it is
3:16
still quite expensive because it's made
3:18
up of the most expensive programming
3:21
Sports I'm going to have a lot more to
3:23
say about this soon let me know what you
3:25
think about Direct TV stream's new mys
3:28
sports bundle in the comments below

3:32
