The easiest way to get rid of cable is to replace it with essentially the same service, and that's what you get with DirecTV Stream. It offers everything you love about cable, like live TV, channels and a DVR, without the need for a satellite or a cable box. Instead, it runs entirely through your internet, so you can watch wherever you are.

It may come as no surprise given that it's on this list, but DirecTV Stream includes CNN and plenty of other news channels, no matter which tier subscription you're paying for. In fact, every plan, from Entertainment to Ultimate, comes with CNN, CNN en Español, and CNN International. If that's not enough to sweeten the pot, they each also include CNBC, Fox News, MSNBC, NewsMax, NewsNation, and, of course, all of your local news channels. Bump up the subscription to the Choice tier, and you'll have access to Cheddar News, while BBC News remains locked behind Ultimate, the most expensive option.

DirecTV Stream plans start at $79.99/month (plus tax) for the Entertainment plan. The Choice + Sports package is $123.98/month, but if you catch it during a deal, you can start the subscription for as low as $98.99 for the first month. The Ultimate + Sports package is $134.98/month, but runs a similar deal for $109.99 for one month. It's also worth noting that DirecTV Stream offers a five-day free trial for new members, so you can even test it out with no commitment.
