Seven ways to pay less
Start with the 5-day free trial
Every new customer gets 5 days free. Test your internet, your devices and the channels before you pay.
Take the new-customer price
Entertainment is $59.99 a month for your first 3 months, then $84.99 through month 24. Choice is $64.99 in month one, then $84.99.
Pick a Genre Pack instead of a full package
MyKids $20.99, MiEspañol from $24.99, MyEntertainment $42.99, MyNews from $39.99, MySports $44.99 for 6 months.
Use a device you already own
The app runs on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast and smart TVs. Skipping the Gemini lease saves $10 a month.
Skip the regional sports fee
Entertainment carries no regional sports fee. Choice and up add up to $19.99 depending on ZIP code.
Stack the included apps
ESPN Unlimited comes with every Signature package, and Disney+ and Hulu come with Gemini. Cancel those separate subscriptions if you pay for them today.
Live in a bulk building
When a property enrolls every unit, the building gets bulk pricing that no individual offer matches. How bulk works.
For property owners
DIRECTV Stream for less than half the list price, in every unit
When the whole building enrolls, residents get DIRECTV Stream Entertainment for $39.99 a month instead of the $89.99 list price. You bill it with rent and keep the margin.
What “half price” really means
Bulk and individual DIRECTV Stream are priced differently. Here is the math with Elink’s own building pricing.
| Individual sign-up | Elink bulk building | |
|---|---|---|
| Entertainment | $59.99 for 3 months, then $84.99 | $39.99 (DIRECTV Stream list $89.99) |
| Choice | $64.99 month 1, then $84.99 + sports fee | $49.99 (DIRECTV Stream list $94.99) |
| Ultimate | $89.99 month 1, then $109.99 + sports fee | $59.99 (DIRECTV Stream list $124.99) |
| Who qualifies | Any new residential customer | Only when the whole property enrolls |
| Where you sign up | DIRECTV Stream, through our link | Your property manager |
Saving on DIRECTV Stream
Straight answers. Anything else, ask our team.
Can I get DIRECTV Stream for half price?
Individually, no. New customers get a first-month or first-3-month discount, then close to list price. The only way to pay roughly half is building-wide bulk service, where a property enrolls every unit. At Elink properties that enroll the whole building, residents pay $39.99 for Entertainment against DIRECTV Stream’s $89.99 list price.
What is the cheapest DIRECTV Stream plan?
The MyKids Genre Pack at $20.99 a month. The cheapest full Signature package is Entertainment at $59.99 a month for your first 3 months.
Do I have to rent the Gemini box?
No. Use your own Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast or smart TV and skip the $10 monthly lease. You give up the included Disney+ and Hulu.
How do I avoid the regional sports fee?
Choose Entertainment or a Genre Pack without MyHome Team. The fee applies to Choice, Ultimate and Premier.
