TV Answer Man, saw your story on YouTube TV and how to tell which RSNs you get with their sub. Can you do the same for DIRECTV Stream? — Hank, Portland, Maine.

Hank, you bet! DIRECTV Stream, the multi-channel live streaming service, offers more regional sports networks than any other live streamer. But how can you tell which ones will be in your package if you subscribe?

See more news and TV tech features at TVAnswerMan.com.

The answer: Go to this page at the DIRECTV web site and input your zip code. The page will then display a list of local network affiliates and regional sports networks that will be available if you subscribe to DIRECTV Stream’s Choice plan or above. (Starts at $108.99 a month). In Portland, Maine, that will include the RSNs, NESN (home of the Boston Red Sox and Bruins) and NBC Sports Boston (home of the Boston Celtics.)

Note that DIRECTV Stream does not require a regional sports network fee so the package price is your final price, not including taxes.

Hank, hope that helps. Happy viewing and stay safe!
