One Account/Two Homes/Multiple Devices?

OK, this is super helpful...and gets me closer to making a decision. Looks like I can mostly get what I'm looking for.

I'm a bit confused on the last comment from bcbsncjlj on streams and streaming devices (sorry, I'm just not getting the difference). Don't you need a DEVICE in order to stream? When away from home, how can you access 3 streams if you can only use 2 devices? Are you saying that I can only have 2 of the TV's at the vacation house able to stream?

Again, I'm not worried about simultaneous streaming. I just want to verify that I can set up 3 TV's (vacation house) each with a dedicated AppleTV with the app to access DirectTV Stream.

Thanks again!

So here’s my understanding on your last post. I can have the DirectTV Stream app set up on all 3 AppleTV devices away from home, but only 2 of them can be ‘active’ simultaneously. I can use any of the 3 devices as long as I’m only using 1-2 ‘active’ at a time. Please correct me if I have this wrong.

thanks!!  

That's even better. Thanks for the great news!

Do the travel devices record the local or home network broadcasts? 

If the home is set to EST, can the recordings be watched live or early if traveling in a PST location?

Thanks!

Hello, @Anon824 . thanks for contacting us.

You can review the steps to record and watch your favorite shows.

Also, your local channel availability is based on your billing zip code.

In case you travel, you can still watch your local channels. Make sure you enable location service on your mobile device, so you can stream.

When traveling, DirecTV Stream will only record shows from your homebase local stations, not the locals at your current location. It may appear that you're able to setup recordings on those location stations, but they won't record. 

@DIRECTVhelp , Question based on your recent comment...'local channel availability is based on your billing zip code'. 

If I'm accessing DirectTV from a vacation home...will I be able to watch local channels in that city?...different from my primary residence (billing address)?? I'm looking for 2 sets of local channels based on 2 locations. Possible?

Yes, you can watch that city's local channels, provided you're using a streaming device that supports "location services", such as an iPad or Apple TV. 

ATT direct Tv is the worst service ever!! Please read the other reviews posted. I cannot wait to cancel my service. I am under contract until October. 

Hi @mariapadilla2207, We appreciate you bring this to our attention.

I pay ATT for my service and signed up for the tv service at my local att store so they have something to do with it!

I'm in the same situation... did you confirm that you can use a single account to access your live TV streaming on an Apple TV from both locations?  We have 3 TVs with dedicated Apple TV devices in one location, and 2 in the other... and we are only using the service in one location at a time.  Thanks!

Can two households located in different cities share one Direct TV Streaming account.  Are they able to watch the same channels (e.g. a sports channel) simultaneously.  Also, will only the local channels of the billing zip code be accessible to both households? These are questions for sharing the Ultimate package.
