My Free DirecTV Adds New Live Channels
DirecTV's free streaming service, My Free DirecTV, is expanding its live channel offerings ahead of its official launch later this month. The service has added several new sports-focused channels, including an ACC channel and a Big 12 channel, as well as other channels like Stadium, Curiosity, and Waypoint TV.
