5 Best Services to Get a Travel Channel Free Trial

If you already have other streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime, Philo is the perfect option to get access to Live TV without spending too much money. At $28, it has an offer that beats much more expensive services. Plus, in terms of the channel lineup, it has a little bit for everyone, from news channels like BBC World News to the Discovery Channel, to Nickelodeon and Vice.

Though largely known as the sports-centered service, Fubo has a lot of other things going for it. The live TV streaming platform has local channels, live events, unlimited DVR, and unlimited screens it offers through plans that range from $80 to $100 per month. It also has a Latino package it offers at nearly half the price of its other plans. The only downside to Fubo is that it recently dropped Warner Bros. and Turner channels because of a dispute. Another possible disadvantage is the ambiguity of its free trial periods. To be sure, Fubo does have a free trial, which is already more than what competing streaming services offer, but it can last two to seven days, depending on when you claim it. The standard should be seven, so you can file a complaint if it ends before then, but Fubo has noticeably erased nearly all mentions of the 7-day-free trial, so be wary of that. Otherwise, Fubo is an enjoyable cable alternative that you can cancel anytime.

Hulu with Live TV offers 95 live channels, as well as countless on-demand content from Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+, from $83/month. It does have a free trial, but it might be the shortest offer yet with a duration of just 3 days. It’s shorter than YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream, but it might be enough for you to decide whether the channel lineup, which includes local, sports, and entertainment networks like Bravo, TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, Discovery, FS1, NFL Network, and ABC News are to your liking. To be eligible for the free trial, you have to either be new to Hulu or a returning customer who canceled a Hulu subscription over a year ago. You can test all of the streaming service’s features, like cloud DVR and device compatibility, during the free trial. Just remember to cancel before the period ends, otherwise, you’ll be charged the regular monthly fee.

YouTube TV is one of the few comprehensive, all-in-one live TV packages that still offers a weeklong free trial. In the past, it’s even offered a 60-day free trial during special occasions. The streaming service has everything you could want: local channels, live sports (including the coveted NFL Sunday Ticket), and cable networks, though you’d still have to pay extra for premium channels like HBO and Starz. It has other add-ons, too, if you’re more into Spanish-language channels for instance or even more sports coverage. Additionally, it has unlimited DVR storage. The only potential downside is picture quality, a common problem among users more used to satellite-grade crispness. You can discover for yourself whether the picture quality, channel lineup, and DVR storage, among others, are worth its $73/month price tag when you sign up for the 7-da7 free trial.

DirecTV Stream Ultimate is one of the meatier live TV packages offered by DirecTV Stream. It includes unlimited streams, cloud DVR, and over 140 channels, many of which are entertainment and regional sports networks, making it quite the bundle for families with a variety of needs. Its $109.99/month subscription is no joke, however, so it’s great that the platform offers a handy 5-day free trial. You can see for yourself if the features all work, if the package is worth the price, and if it’s an overall good fit for your household. Just remember to cancel the trial before it ends if you don’t want DirecTV to automatically charge your card and renew the subscription monthly.
