If you’re a DIRECTV subscriber looking for a Disney/ESPN alternative, Hulu Live’s first month discount of $30 ends after today. The $30 reduction brings the first month price of the live streaming service to $46.99. Regular rates apply if you don’t cancel prior to the end of the first month.
Hulu Live, which is owned by Disney, carries ESPN and the rest of the Disney-owned networks.
Meanwhile, DIRECTV is still offering a $30 credit to purchase one month from either Fubo or Sling TV, both of which also carry ESPN and the Disney networks. DIRECTV says $30 is the maximum credit you can get, meaning you would get $10 if you already applied for a $20 credit offered earlier by the satcaster.
You can visit DIRECTV’s TV Promise page for more information on the Fubo/Sling offer.
The DIRECTV-Disney dispute is now in its 10th full day with the entire suite of Disney channels blacked out on DIRECTV’s satellite service, DIRECTV Stream, U-verse and DIRECTV Via Streaming.
