    Ovation stands out with peculiar mix of art-centric features and a lot of shows involving killing. One minute it’s spotlighting big celebrity names on Artist to Icons and “less-celebrated forms of art” (like ice sculptures or sushi) on The Art Of. The next minute it’s Midsomer Murders, and Death In Paradise, and The Doctor Blake Mysteries, and yes, it’s a much longer minute. And you can catch their entire lineup anytime with just a live TV subscription.

    To watch Ovation without cable, sign up for a subscription to any of the live TV options below. You can read more information about each of their prices and offers to see which service gets you the most value for your money.

    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.
