DirecTV has launched a new promotion that offers new DirecTV customers who choose a DirecTV Genre Pack and its Gemini streaming device will get a year of free access to Netflix Standard with ads.
Normally Netflix’s ad supported service is priced at $8.99 a month.
The promotion is being offered at a time when more pay TV operators are bundling discounted streaming services with their video offerings as a way of attracting consumers. With a DirecTV Gemini device, subscribers can access Netflix right alongside their live channels in one easy-to-use interface, all on a single bill.
DirecTV has also been pushing smaller more focused packages like its Genre packs, which target consumer interests for sports, entertainment or other content at more affordable packages.
