how to get directv on roku
To watch DIRECTV on your Roku device, you typically need to use the DIRECTV STREAM app (formerly known as AT&T TV). Here’s how to set it up:
1. Make sure you have a DIRECTV STREAM account:
– If you don’t have one yet, you need to sign up for a subscription to DIRECTV STREAM, which is separate from the traditional satellite DIRECTV service.
2. Set up your Roku device:
– If you haven’t already set up your Roku, connect it to your TV, connect to Wi-Fi, and complete the setup process using your Roku account.
3. Install the DIRECTV STREAM app:
– From the Roku home screen, scroll down to “Streaming Channels.”
– In the “Channel Store,” search for DIRECTV STREAM.
– Select the DIRECTV STREAM app from the search results and press “Add Channel.”
– Wait for the app to install, then go back to the Roku home screen.
4. Log in to your DIRECTV STREAM account:
– Open the DIRECTV STREAM app on your Roku.
– Enter your login credentials (email and password) for your DIRECTV STREAM account.
5. Start watching:
– Once logged in, you can start browsing channels, on-demand content, and more directly from the app.
Remember that the traditional DIRECTV satellite service isn’t available directly on Roku, only the DIRECTV STREAM service, which is a streaming service. If you are a satellite customer and want to stream on Roku, you would need to sign up for DIRECTV STREAM separately.
