What DirecTV DVR/Receiver model?

If you're trying to connect that DVR/Receiver to the internet, you'll need your home WiFi password.

You download the DirecTV app to your 'smart' TV (if available for your model). Log in with your DirecTV password, which is the same you use when you log into your account online.

Be aware the 'smart' TV version of the app is known to be sub-standard. It is usually suggested to have a dedicated streaming device (Roku, Firestick, etc.).

However, as DirecTV is service by satellite, any streaming content is limited. The service is designed to have a receiver/DVR/client on the TV to get the full service. They weren't built with internet being required.
