DIRECTV’s streaming services have added six more ads-supported free channels to their lineups:  Fail Army, At Home With Family Handyman, Horror by Alter, Love Nature, Players TV: Athletes On Demand, and The Pet Collective.

The six channels are now available to Entertainment plan and above subscribers to DIRECTV Stream and DIRECTV via Internet service as well as DIRECTV’s streaming app for satellite customers.

DIRECTV has bolstered its streaming lineups with a few dozen free channels over the last several months. The channels are called free because they are also available on such free services as Pluto TV and Tubi.
