Do I get the local affiliates (ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS) in Las Vegas using Direct TV Streaming?

Trying to compare channels between streaming services and most of the information is convoluted and/or outdated.  Right now I'm trying to find out if I would get the local affiliates (ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS) using this streaming service.  My zip code is 89134.

Thank you!

The current lookup is at https://streamtv.directv.com/channels/ 

(click on the Regional Sports & Local tab where you can check by zip code)

However, if any of those channels are owned by Nexstar then they will be currently unavailable. DirecTV (both satellite and DIRECTV STREAM) and Nexstar haven't signed a new carriage agreement yet as they have been at an impasse since at least July.

Thanks.  It lists all the local channels.  I checked, as suggested, to see who is owned by Nextar.  One was, but was listed anyway as though it were available.  It's hard to trust anything at this point because I read so many conflicting statements.

I see pricing that then shows an added $15 dollars for equipment.  Not sure why I would need equipment for streaming.  Also, saw that you had a 24 month contract - would never opt for that.

My expectation is they haven't updated the local channel listing regarding Nexstar channels as they expect to get them back eventually. Would be nice if the would at least put a notice on those so that people are aware they may not be available upon sign-up but would be the correct ones if/when DirecTV succeeds in having them returned.

DirecTV and DIRECTV STREAM are two different providers under the same owner. The satellite service (DirecTV) has $15 for the Advanced Receiver services and all intro offers come with a 24 month service agreement.

The streaming-only service (DIRECTV STREAM) historically doesn't have a contract, but as I recall if you get their branded streaming box can spread out the purchase cost over so many months. That equipment is optional as you can use your own streaming device (Roku, Firestick, etc.) with the service.

Thanks, that makes sense.
