Keeping kids entertained can feel like a full-time job, especially when everyone has a different favorite show. The DIRECTV MyKids Genre Pack brings more than 10 family-friendly live TV channels focused on entertainment and learning into one package, along with a Disney+ subscription add-on at no extra cost. DIRECTV positions the package as a great value in the increasingly crowded kids’ entertainment market, providing more for families than competing offerings.
With the MyKids Genre Pack, kids and teens can watch at home or on the go using a tablet or smartphone, with unlimited simultaneous streams on compatible devices while connected to home Wi-Fi and up to three streams using cellular data. As one of five Genre Packs available from DIRECTV, MyKids can be added to a new or existing plan at any time, giving families the flexibility to adjust their TV lineup as their needs change.
DIRECTV offers a five-day free trial for the MyKids Genre Pack, giving families an opportunity to explore the package before paying for it. After the trial, the service automatically renews monthly at its regular rate, currently $20.99 per month, until you cancel, and there is no annual contract.
