DirecTV is a US television provider that sells live channels over the internet as well as through traditional satellite services. Its MySports pack is a lower-priced bundle aimed at people who mainly want sports and major broadcast channels, rather than a full cable-style package.
The channels in such bundles carry live games from leagues including the NFL, NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball, as well as tennis and other events. Rights to show sport are split between networks, so viewers may need several channels to follow a season.
Prices, local stations and access to particular games can differ by area. Some events are also subject to blackouts, which can restrict viewing in certain locations despite a customer having the relevant channel.
