Do you have DIRECTV satellite or DIRECTV STREAM? If you have DIRECTV satellite, that app is only used for the DIRECTV STREAM service and you must get a DIRECTV receiver for the Samsung TV since each TV must be paid for ($7 TV Access Fee). There are ways around this like installing each channel’s individual app but I’m not sure how many apps Samsung TVs have built-in. You might want to get a streaming device.
If you have DIRECTV STREAM, the experience on Samsung TVs are overall garbage, and there are many here to confirm this ‘assumption.’ You’ll be better off with a $30 Fire Stick, Roku, or Apple TV. You should even take a look at the DIRECTV STREAM OSPREY BOX which has a nice remote, faster speeds, and an overall better experience. This is purchased through the DIRECTV website and NOT on unknown third-parties.
