Hulu,ESPN Unlimited, and Disney +, coming for free ?

I don’t know what a signature package is. I have the entertainment package. Is that a signature package and will I qualify?

And, well access be through their apps or through the DIRECTV guide somehow?

Hey, thanks for the info. I found all the info you listed in the beginning of your post, but I couldn’t find what you provided which was the specific packages. I even logged on to my account and it didn’t say anything about signature packages and I had never heard that before. Thank you again.

The name "Signature packages" is a new name for just the old service tiers that you're used to  The new name is to distinguish between this an the new Genre Packs, where you can buy small collections of channels.

I’ll make a guess that this applies only to “DirecTV via internet”, not old-style Stream, and conceivably only on leased rather than owned Gemini devices.  I’ll also guess that this would be a “with ads” bundle, likely with no way to upgrade to ad free.  I’d be happy to be proven wrong on all those guesses, but I tend to doubt this will benefit me.

It said all DIRECTV streaming and the email came to me this afternoon with my DIRECTV stream email address. I had two satellite accounts for 25 years but they are now closed and used a different email.

And I don’t even have to ask because I’m pretty sure the packages will be with ads, of course, sadly.

Just wondering, is there a way to update it to the ad free version of the Disney+/Hulu bundle?

@alb1998 Pretty sure that is coming in the future. 

Nothing is for free!

How come I can sign into the ESPN app and have access to all their programming but when I try Disney or Hulu, they want a fee?  I thought Disney and Hulu were part of the new, no extra cost package? 

The ESPN app has been part of the deal for a while.  The new ESPN Universal / Disney bundle will be a different story, and has not yet rolled out for all subscribers.  It is supposed to roll out "later this year."

@Keyman88 Have you received the Disney plus/Hulu bundle activation email?

No, I have not. I am using the C71KW-400 box for DTV streaming. 

Well, I found out why I didn't get an email to sign up for the free Disney & Hulu packages being offered. Seems people who bought a C71KW-400 box (or earlier versions) from any other source but DTV are not eligible. When I switched from DTV satellite service to Stream last year in May, DTV  only offered 're-manufactured' boxes for $50 each. I was able to get new, unopened, DTV branded ones for $50 each from another source. Go figure....🙄
