Reviews for DIRECTV: Live TV + Streaming

Very unstable. Complete garbage. I’ve been trying this on and off for months hoping that it will improve, and it hasn’t. Constantly getting messages that “Something went wrong” and that I should restart the app and force close my device. And this happens during the middle of streaming live shows. Also, local channels are not […]

Still giving this a one star. Was working great for a while but they messed with something that was working fine. Now it won’t recognize that my location is on and I can’t watch anything! Fix this issue, or this service is a waste of my money! I see some people say you have to […]

In full screen mode the pause button is in the middle and can’t get rid of it, it’s annoying!!!! Please fix The above comment was from a month ago, soon after that the problem got fixed. But now I can’t even see anything because even tho my GPS is turned on, I’m not able to […]

I’m absolutely livid. I’m paying for a service that I can’t access. It isn’t working on either Roku, the computer, or the app. The app keeps telling me that my location services are off, so I’m unable to stream until they are turned on. Location services are on, however, the app still won’t register my […]

Absolute Garbage. Can no longer sort by channel or number on any of our TVs. We’ve marked many of the channels as favorites. When we log into the app, it states we don’t have any favorites??? To make matters worse, they put the same canned response on every negative reply in the app store. When […]

The DVR feature is absolutely terrible. It starts recording late or ends early and certain parts of what was recorded freeze and then go back a few mins in a constant loop. The audio is way out of sync. How is this thing getting worse?! Unacceptable, if I didn’t have at&t I would drop this […]

This is one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. I have it on both my mobile device & Fire Stick. It very frequently displays an error message claiming there’s no internet connection (which is false). Fixing this error requires clicking the “clear data” option and being forced to log back in (painful using a […]

Since the last update, the app doesn’t load up quickly anymore, and sometimes hangup and never load up at all. When it opens, it always show an error msg that’s something went wrong and the refresh bottom doesn’t work, it doesn’t play the live TV programs. I uninstalled and reinstalled it but still no changes, […]

My experience in 3 billing cycle. 1. I can’t cast on demand only live and recording, as well as sometimes the casting signal will just not appear even if you restart 2. They will raise the price of your subscription on you when ever they want. I was subscribed for $50 a month then on […]

sounds like a deal, but after they break the different component charges down and raise and/or add new charges its just more of the same. you have to add this APP, that APP, and the other APP to stream what you want, you wind up with a crazy high bill. All the talk about thousands […]

Always “congested” and does not run smoothly most of the time. I have almost a dozen apps I use on my television, and this is becomming the worst as far as smooth streaming. This app freezes regularly, so bad at times I have to unplug/replug my television to get it back up and running. Definitely […]

The mobile version of this app is very useable overall (the Roku app is a little harder to navigate). But unless I’m missing a setting somewhere, it lacks picture-in-picture capability and that’s kind of a bummer. I’d really like to be able to keep this going on the background while I do other things, which […]

Edit.. Now making me login every time I open the app/ interrupting shows to put in my account details. I’ve talked to customer support with no resolution. The adds are really bad. Long blocks of back-to-back adds. Just when it tells you you’re done with one series of adds, immediately comes another block of them. […]

Trying to play back recorded shows on this app is an absolute nightmare. The screen goes blank, then back on again, literally every 3-4 seconds. It’s impossible to watch any recorded sgow without wanting to break to TV. The same thing often happens with live TV. No, it’s not my WiFi, as every other streaming […]

I tried the free version. Very limited program selection in live and on demand videos. Also, there’s a video (not an ad) running in the lower right corner all the time that can’t be removed. The video can be changed but not removed, even when you stop the video. Finally, every on demand video I […]

Used to work awesome now error message every 3-5 minutes. The only way I can watch is to close the app and reopen it, just for it to do it again after a few minutes. I’ve tried clearing the cache and I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Keeps saying “looks like we ran into some […]

When it’s working it’s good. Recent Log In errors and network issues sometimes. Would also be nice to add Picture in Picture most streaming apps have it just makes for a better user experience. I should be able to check a text without having to exit the app or pause it. On my iPad it […]

I would rate it higher if the app was more efficient. I’ll be watching over the app and every 5 minutes it says connection has been lost. I’ve tried everything to resolve the issue on my end and my internet will have full bars and it still loses connection. There is definitely some kind of […]

This app used to be great. You could sit there and stream All Day. No, issues. Now after so long it will time out and you have to log completely out and log back in for it to work again. If you don’t try to record something in the first couple seconds once you get […]

This app is a joke. The last few days I have gotten so many errors that it is congested with so many people using it. It freezes constantly. And today I can barely get it to work. I get a black screen when opening it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times and nothing. […]
