Get the DirecTV Streaming device.  You can buy it for $120 or $10 per month until it's paid for.  While this might seem expensive, it is a VERY good device and, along with the accompanying remote delivers a FLAWLESS streaming experience.  You can also download any app from Google Play to the device and vastly improve the streaming experience of your other apps and use it in the future to do so, regardless of whether you choose to keep DirecTV Stream.  I highly recommend it!

Sales, customer service, and tech support ARE all open on the weekends.  Sales is dishonest, customer service, including their website, is incompetent, but tech support is mostly good.  Overall, I rate the DirecTV technology a 5 and customer service a 1, averaging out to a 3, but once you get these issues ironed out, you will enjoy what I believe to be the best streaming experience in the business.

Obviously, this is all just my humble opinion, having been a DirecTV customer only since the first of this year.

Any supported streaming device like a Roku, Fire Stick, or Apple TV will work. It's just a personal choice.
