Let's say you just went cordless and got a brand-new Roku to celebrate. Upon turning it on, the device lets you know what live TV streaming services you can download. There are plenty to choose from, which can get overwhelming, so wouldn't it be great if you could try them all out first?

Enter free trials. Thankfully, most live TV streaming services like DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV offer trials that let you test their different features and channels, including the local ones if they have them, all at zero cost. The trials usually last about five to seven days, which should be enough time for you to form an opinion about the service. After that, you can decide which among them best fits your needs.
