Keep Your Roku or Fire TV Running Smoothly for the DIRECTV App

Keeping your device updated shouldn’t feel like a plot twist. If you're using a Roku or Amazon Fire TV with DIRECTV, a quick software check can keep your streams smooth and your shows uninterrupted. 🔧

Amazon Fire TV:

Your device should auto‑update, but you can confirm under Settings → Appstore. To manually update, go to Settings → My Fire TV → About → Check for System Update. If you want to update a specific app, open it and tap Update if available.

Roku:

Roku usually updates on its own, but you can manually check via Home → Settings → System → System Update → Check Now. To update an app, highlight it → press * → choose Check for Updates.
