DirecTV via Internet - Requires proprietary DirecTV streaming box, 24 month agreement, fees similar to DirecTV (satellite).
DIRECTV STREAM - Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), like Roku etc. that you download the app to. You can buy DirecTV's box from Authorized Retailer if you want a more traditional interface with channel numbers on the remote. No service agreement and doesn't have some of the extra fees.
Boxes? If you subscribe to DirecTV Stream all you need is a device like Roku, Fire Stick, or Apple TV. You can obtain those device anywhere like Walmart or Target.
If your smart TV supports the DIRECTV App or if you have compatible streaming devices, you can enjoy DIRECTV without needing our box. However, if you would rather use a box, you can sign up for our DIRECTV Via Internet to receive our devices. Check out How to watch the DIRECTV App | DIRECTV Support to learn about the compatible streaming devices available for downloading and viewing the DIRECTV App.
Internet and TV are different services. Your AT&T internet Gateway does not give you DirecTV service. Plus they are once again different companies.
If you get DIRECTV STREAM than you get whatever compatible streaming box works for your. However if you get DirecTV via Internet, than DirecTV provides you the box and the 24 month service agreement.
