Can I buy Direct TV just for a month?

Hi, im very new to all of this (not a customer of Direct TV) and i was wondering if there was a way if I can purchase DirecTV for one month and not for 1 or 2 years, I just want to use the service for a month and no more than that, is it possible to do this? Please, thank you.

Here is the case: 
I have a client who has a small leisure yacht and wants to be able to watch TV on it.

We are located in Central America and the yatch isn't used that much, so a residential account won't work for him.

Is there a maritime account that he can apply for to use DirecTV for 1 month?

Is there a maritime section that Direct TV offers for leisure yatchs or boats to have TV?

What type of acccount do I need for my client if I want to install DirectTV on his leisure yatch?

DTV doesn't provide a month only service they require a 2 year commitment only streaming services are month to month.

There are dishes that can be installed on boats to receive DTV signals.

And also is streaming the same as TV? What is the difference between them, If i choose streaming will I get the same channels that I get for buying TV services or do I need something else for it?

I assume you need a RV(mobile) account with the 2 year contract.

Streaming uses the internet to send content to you so the yacht needs to have satellite internet service, AT&T Now has most if not all DTV channels but then most streaming providers do too.
