Under Scripps Networks (which also owns the likes of Defy TV and Court TV), the Grit channel waves the flag of Western in series and movies. Here, you can check out shows from as early as the ‘50s in Death Valley Days, The Lone Ranger, and Tombstone Territory, as well as movies from several major studios. What they didn’t have in the ‘50s is the convenience of a live TV subscription, which allows you to catch the rest of Grit’s programming without the hassles of traditional cable.
To get a live subscription to Grit, simply sign up for DirecTV STREAM Ultimate. They offer a 5-day free trial, but you can read more about it below to see everything you're getting should you decide to subscribe for longer.
DirecTV Stream
DirecTV Stream is a streaming service that offers everything from live TV, local channels, on-demand films, sports packages, and even premium cable networks like HBO and Starz for an additional fee. Its plans, which start at $70/month, are on the pricier side of live TV, but that’s because it offers unlimited DVR and streams on top of at least 75 channels, depending on the plan you pick.
DirecTV Stream Ultimate
DirecTV Stream Ultimate is the second-biggest package offered by DirecTV Stream. With it, you get up to 160 channels (up 40 channels from the previous tier) across entertainment, sports, and news. That’s almost any channel you can think of—from TBS and USA; to ESPN and CBS Sports; to CNN and BBC News; and so much more. You get it all, plus tens of thousands of on-demand titles for the price of $109.99/month (saving you roughly $40/month from the package after it), so if the budget allows, it's worth trying the Ultimate plan yourself.
Sling TV with All Extras
Sling TV offers Orange, Blue, and various specific package options like Sports and Entertainment extras if you want to bling out on extra channels. Orange offers 34 channels including Disney Channel and ESPN, while Blue offers a little more at 42 channels including MSNBC and Fox News. Each go for $40/month, but together go for $55/month with 46 channels. Plus, you even get $25 off of your first month, making Sling TV (and its various extras) one of the most affordable plans to consider.
