DIRECTV and DIRECTV Stream have both added Discovery+ to their on-screen menus and priced the streamer’s ads-included plan at $2 a month off the regular rate of $4.99 a month. That means subscribers to both services can now purchase Discovery+’s ads-included plan for $2.99 a month. (The $2 savings will appear on the DIRECTV and DIRECTV Stream subscriber bills.)

Discovery+ features an extensive lineup of home improvement and lifestyle programs such as The Single Life, Gold Rush, 90 Day Fiance, Love It or List It, Inspired Interiors, Magnolia Table With Joanna Gaines and Inspired Interiors with Sarah Sherman Samuel.
