Unable to sign in to Directv stream / never ending loop.

Im completely lost. I work in IT and have never been this stumped. I have ATT Fiber and just switched from DirecTV to DirecTV Stream. I am unable to access DirecTV Stream because it will constantly try to either 1) Take me to my DirecTV standard account or 2) If I do try to log into DirecTV Stream separately with a separate ID I have created for it, it tells me: 

Check your entry and try again. Keep in mind, you’ll have to reset your password after too many unsuccessful sign-in attempts.
Care Code: 201 [LU100]
The stream box I ordered with DirecTV Stream does not work due to my sign in issues. It tries to auto-sign me in with my main user account and fails telling me I need to sign in with my ATT User ID and password. They even sent me another box when I was telling them we just need to turn auto sign in off. 
I cannot log in to my account, I just got charged a bill, I am unable to use the box I am paying for, I have ZERO access to my email because it too is broken and will not allow me to log in, and they offered me a $7 credit on the phone yesterday after talking to another guy for an hour with no assistance.
I really dont want to have to cancel all of my ATT services, you guys have been great but this is absolutely insane. Please fix my account. I have changed every email on my account so none of them overlap and its still a sign in nightmare with no end in sight. 
I am in a never ending loop of not being able to access my service. If that's not bad enough, I have spent literally hours on the phone with all kinds of different people with absolutely no assistance.

I had to make a new account completely separate form my ATT account. It just seems silly to me that I would have to go through so much trouble. Way more than what I have explained on here. Anyway, thanks for the help.

The Care Code reflects an DirecTV service not a DirecTV Stream service. There has been a lot of posts and issues with subscriptions from former DirecTv subscribers moving to DirecTV Stream. Your best option is to contact support and discuss with a support rep. I am not aware of any solution posted in these forums. Sorry for your frustrations.

I understand completely.  I have spent two days (I am retired) all day on the phone being shuffled around the world.  I spent 20 yrs overseeing a very large IT organization. We had a fully functional Tier I call center/help desk.  I do not understand why there is no Trouble Ticketing System for Tier I?  I have been calling for two days and just keep going over the exact same basic troubleshooting procedures, over and over and over.  I need Tier II support. Someone who understand the connection between the login credentials and whatever DIRECTV package you have. 

Saturday, 18th will be day three of endless transfers.  If you open a ticket when someone calls, you have a complete record of what the problem is and what actions have been taken so far...etc

I can't login using the DIRECTV STREAMING device (continous sign in loop, stating: Please reactive your subscription...... ) and the app on my cellphone says:  Subscription Required.  Please subscribe to DIRECTV STREAM code 8013

I am able to use the same exact login credentials to log into the website.  So the login information is correct and working.  When I try to watch TV through the website, I get:

This content has an issue and can't play.  Give it another try or select something else to watch. 10025-002

In my mind, something between the login credentials and the streaming package is  corrupt or not properly configured (best guess).  Tier I can not solve these types of issues.

So, somewhere along the "pass the buck trail", someone created a Trouble Ticket and gave me the TT#.  Well, each time I talk to someone they say, they do not have access to the trouble ticket? 

I too am caught in a never ending DIRECTV STREAM loop.

I logged over 8 hours speaking to reps over 4 days, received two boxes, got offered a $7 credit for my “inconvenience”, was hung up, and transferred probably 20+ times. In the end, the only thing I could do was create a new account, cancel and return everything. I still have no access to my email. Never have.  

The best thing I can recommend is ask for someone on shore right away. Don’t waste your time with off shore people. In my experience, none of them cared and they would typically just try to find a way to hang up on you or just try to send you new equipment over and over again. It’s really awful.

Again, I recommend just cancelling everything and either starting over or go somewhere else that employee folks knowledgeable enough to actually help you or at least transfer you to the people that can. After just cancelling, getting a refund and making a brand new account with a new email everything is fine. I am not linking this account because it will probably explode, but at least now I have a working account separate from my internet. For now.

I understand your frustation and had a similiar experience.  I personally do not care where a help desk/call center is located but I do care about the level of service I am getting.  If basic troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, it should be escalated to Tier II personnel using a Trouble Ticketing System.  If you can't keep track of your customers, you will lose them.  Someone in this forum from DirecTV assisted me and resolved my problem, which I appreciate very much.

I'm stuck in the endless sign on loop on the stream box I got because I want the remote control with as close to the same experience as the satellite.  I'm in the stupid position of having dtv satellite, dtv stream and internet all linked under one email and all managed by an att.com log on.   Using Chrome on a PC I can see the redirect from the log they make me manage at att.com to the directv.com to use the streaming services can't figure out if it should send me to directv.com/stream or directv.com/satellite and just loops.  Try explaining a redirect to a level 1 helpdesk person.   I'm at multiple calls and chats and being sent a 2nd box to fix the issue even though I'm specifically asking the support team to unlink my stream account from any other ATT account and work with me to set it up under a different email to manage stream so their systems can stop being confused and I can evaluate stream and decide if I want to keep it.

Similar situation myself, I am a Directv satellite customer trying out Directv stream service, I can access my Directv stream service on my iPad and iPhone, but on my iMac I get in endless loop of signing in to the Directv Stream account, and I never get logged in, my Roku box just hangs up after I enter my user and password, no one I've communicated with has been able to figure it out, my last communication with them I was told it would be fixed in 72hrs, just terrible customer service, the language barrier is bad as well, even when using the chat. Would like to know if anyone has been able to find a fix.
