MySports from DirecTV: Is It Worth It?

Remember my series on MySports from DirecTV last week? When I first started the series, MySports was only available in a few cities. But guess what? It's now available in my local (Savannah) TV market!

So, is this new sports streaming service worth your hard-earned cash? Let's take a closer look.

What Channels Do You Get?

MySports offers a pretty good selection of sports channels, including:

• ACC Network
• Big Ten Network
• ESPN
• ESPN2
• ESPNews
• ESPNU
• FS1
• FS2
• Golf Channel
• MLB Network
• NBA TV
• NFL Network
• NHL Network
• SEC Network
• TBS
• TNT
• truTV

You also get a few news channels, like CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC.

Unfortunately, ABC and NBC aren't available in my market, even though they're offered in some other areas. And CBS isn't available at all through MySports.

You can check the channel lineup for your specific area on the MySports website.

Show Me the Money!

MySports costs $69.99 per month. However, there's a special introductory offer right now: you can get $20 off per month for the first 3 months if you sign up in February.

MySports vs. Sling Orange+Blue

The biggest competitor to MySports is probably Sling Orange+Blue. It's a good option for sports fans, and it's actually cheaper than MySports in the long run.

Sling Orange+Blue costs $60 per month, so it's $10 cheaper than MySports after the introductory period ends. Plus, it has a wider variety of channels overall, including more sports channels and news channels.

Pros and Cons of MySports

Here's a quick rundown of the pros and cons of MySports:

Pros:

• Comprehensive sports coverage, including regional sports networks.
• More focused sports experience compared to Sling Orange+Blue.
• Lower introductory price for the first 3 months.

Cons:

• $10 more expensive than Sling Orange+Blue after the introductory period.
• Fewer channels overall compared to Sling Orange+Blue.

Who Should Consider MySports?

MySports might be a good choice for you if:

• You primarily watch sports and value the focused sports experience.
• You're willing to commit to a 3-month subscription to take advantage of the lower introductory price.

Who Should Consider Sling Orange+Blue?

Sling Orange+Blue might be a better option if:

• You want a wider variety of channels, including more sports and news options.
• You prioritize long-term value and affordability.

MySports, Then Sling?

Another option to consider is signing up for MySports with the introductory price, then canceling after three months and switching to Sling Orange+Blue. This way, you can experience both services and decide which one you prefer in the long run.
