How to Use Roku Ultra with Direct TV Stream
I just started using Directv Stream and I purchased a Roku Ultra box and remote to use with it. I want to be able to use voice remote with Directv Stream. Is it possible to use a Roku Ultra Voice Remote within the Directv app? For example, suppose I have opened the Directv app on my TV using the Roku Ultra, can I use the Roku Ultra to search for something and launch it within the Directv app. For example, if I say "Launch NBC" it will attempt to find a Roku app called "NBC" instead of searching for the NBC channel within Directv Stream. Perhaps this is easier to do with the Directv Stream Device rather than Roku?
Thanks,

Not possible with the Roku. You’ll need a DIRECTV Stream box and remote for that.

I wish you could use the Roku voice remote to control the Directv Stream app on Roku but unfortunately, you can't the best thing would be to get the Directv Streaming Box where you would have that capability to do that. You can get them through Directv brand new for $120 or $5 a month for 2 years. Or you could get a certified refurbished box for $49.99 they give you a 1-year warranty. They are nice because you can use the voice search to change the channel, fast forward, rewind, and search! Plus you get the benefit of a numbered keypad so you can key in a channel # to turn the channel!

Unfortunately, AFAIK those of us who have grandfathered subscriptions dating back to DirecTV Now days (and maybe those with AT&T TV Now subscriptions - not sure of that) aren't able to buy the DirecTV Stream box from DirecTV at all (and the same was true when AT&T owned the service), so if we want them, we're limited to eBay - meaning no warranty and the chance it won't work at all.
