Commercial Break Music

Hey DIRECTV Stream. I just wanted to leave a comment. Can you guys put back the AT&T TV Stream commercial break music? I honestly loved how it sounded. I don't mind the DIRECTV version but c'mon that other one was better. Thanks

Break up in signal and speech is affected.

Digital interference or break up. Picture freezes. Last two days the speech is slurred. Happening more often. Complained several months ago, has been happening not as bad until now. This is worse reception than before we got the HD receivers. This needs to be fixed.

Did AT&T break their contract with subscribers when they changed streaming to exclude laptops?

4k picture quality horrible on DirecTV Stream

Whenever college football is offered in 4k format the picture quality is horrible -a faded, dim, washed out look with poor color rendering. No amount of tinkering with settings makes any difference.  I have five different smart TV’s from 32” to 65” and brands from TCL to Samsung and LG.

DirectTV Stream…..Commercial Break

Could someone please get Direct to change up the music they use for their unsponsored commercial breaks? It’s starting to get annoying.  Really, how much could it cost to add a couple of new tunes?

Yes, they are blocking other competitors commercials and of all the years we have Comcast I never knew them to do that. I'm surprised that AT&t gets away with that since someone else sold that commercial time.

Direct TV Stream DVR timing

I'm new to Direst TV Stream and have a problem recording a sports event that runs past the scheduled time. It seems that Direst TV Stream will only record a sporting event per the guide and doesn't extend if an event runs over.  Is there a way to add additional time to a live sporting event?
