Following the recent launch of the MyFree DirecTV free-ad supported package of 70-plus streaming channels, DirecTV has launched eight new channels catering to such interests as food, film, crime, travel and more.
The new channels are Drool, Hipstr, GoTraveler, America’s Test Kitchen, MagellanTV Now, True Crime Now, History & Warfare Now and Space Science Now.
When it launched the MyFree DirecTV service, the company said it would be adding new channels shortly. Shortly, DirecTV also plans to offer genre-based paid programming packages that deliver smaller lineups of relevant channels that will complement MyFree DirecTV. This will give consumers the flexibility to access affordable, personalized TV subscriptions at lower price points, the company said.
Those genre-based programming packages were a key part of its recent distribution deal with Disney.
Users can set up a MyFree DirecTV account at MyFree DirecTV and then download the app to a smart TV, phone, laptop or tablet to watch the content.
