Canceling Directv Stream After Loss of Nexstar Stations? 5 Best Alternatives for Live TV Streaming
Directv Stream is one of the very best live TV streaming services because of its enormous channel lineup. But thanks to a squabble with Nexstar, the service just lost 159 stations serving 113 markets.
If you are a single-channel type of person who likes watching the nationally televised shows, you still have some options. For example, if you lost your CBS station, you can get it back with Paramount+ for $11.99 / month after a 30-day Free trial. Or, if you lost your NBC affiliate, Peacock offers it at the Premium Plus level ($9.99 / month).
However, if you want a larger variety and access to local programming (such as your local news), it’s worth considering these other live TV providers as the carriage fight continues between Directv and Nexstar.
5 Alternatives to Directv Stream to Stream Live TV 1. Sling TV ($40)
You can jump into Sling TV for as little as $40, but there’s a ton of flexibility to scale up.
