Just to let you know, since you use a Roku to view. You will not get the ESPN Unlimited when it first launches. Only DirecTV subscribers who have Gemini Devices will get it first, then other devices will be added later, such as Roku, Amazon Fire, etc...
Hey, @doo4usc44. The launch timeline will be shared with eligible customers soon. Once available, they will receive activation instructions via email and text message, making the online process simple. Rhyan, DIRECTV Community Team
@Ludwick577 Yes, it is true! This is what was posted on DTV Insider on July 31st.
DIRECTV streaming customers with a Gemini device who subscribe to a Signature Package will benefit even more. In addition to receiving ESPN’s unlimited plan, these customers will gain access to Disney+, Hulu Bundle Basic within their fully integrated DIRECTV experience at no extra charge. This combination offers a seamless, all-in-one platform that combines hit movies, top-rated shows and live sports without needing to subscribe to and pay for multiple subscriptions. Going even further for customers, DIRECTV plans to make HBO Max and Peacock ad tiers available within select DIRECTV packages later this year.

Will free access to ad supported Hulu and Disney+ start August 21 as well? I only see ESPN mentioned in online articles.

Someone on reddit said HBO Max and Peacock are going to be added for free later this year-----like Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN. Is that true?
