Can you use DTV Stream in multiple households?

Yes on the box. VPNs are discourage. If detected you may be banned. If your device has location services it must be on to deliver correct local broadcast.

I have a related question.  I'm aware that DirecTV Stream has the technical capability of serving two households.  One would be the "home" location while the other would be an "outside" location.  (While the system allows up to two TV-connected devices outside the home and one mobile device is required for the third "outside" stream, I believe you can only have ONE "outside" stream per Internet connection.  In other words, to fire up three "outside" streams, you need to be connected to three separate Internet network connections.)

But here's my question:  While it technically works, does it violate the DirecTV Streams Terms of Service, TOS?  I ask because, in the case of YouTube TV, there is a specific prohibition against people using the "outside" streams if they're not a member of the "home" household.  

Well, I've never heard anything to the effect that DirecTV Stream has a similar restriction in the fine print.  However, on occasion, DirecTV Stream reps have told me that, but I have a feeling they're mistaken.

What are DirecTV Stream's actual rules on this?  Thanks.

DirecTV has no restrictions on the use by others. I have siblings in other locations that share the service.

As far as the separate internet connections, there is no connection limitation either. At least I have not encountered an issue.

To be clear then, there's nothing in the fine print of TOS for DirecTV Stream to prohibit password sharing for up to three people outside of your home account, is that correct?  

In addition, if I understand you correctly, it is perfectly possible for ALL THREE of the "outside" streams to be running off of THE SAME Internet connection, correct?

Have I understood you correctly on both counts?  

Correct. 

Thank you!  Sounds like some folks have been ragging on me about this stuff for no good reason!!

I currently have DirecTV Streaming via ATT Fiber, Arris BGW210-700 Broadband Gateway, and two ATT C71KW-400 TV boxes and remotes to serve two TV's. I live in NC. My daughter will be temporarily living in Virginia for about a year. Will we be able to move one of the TV along with its serving box and have it work in Virginia as part of our current account. Her future apartment is only served by Verizon fiber. Will the Verizon router allow her ATT TV box to work?

Thank you for your response. I appreciate it much.

No problem.

@ttjacob 

The verizon router is no problem, using AT&T is definitely not required for DIRECTV streaming service.  The limitation that you may run into is that DIRECTV streaming allows 20 [If I remember correctly] active at the home location and 3 outside the home.  There can be issues with stream counting that don't appear a lot with a high limit, but you may run into with 3.  Only one location can be "home" and whether you're at home or not is determined by the public IP address that the request arrives at DIRECTV from.

With only one device at each of two different locations, I wouldn't expect you to have any problems, though.

JefferMC,

Thank you for your response.

Are DVR profiles limited the 'home network' location use or could DVR profiles be set up and used at the second remote connection or while traveling and carrying an Osprey or Gemini device.

Would it be possible for a DTV agent to answer my question?

We're here to help, @WVZR-1. User Profiles are not limited to your home network. They travel with you regardless of the device you're using to access the app when not at home and with your Gemini device at home. Rizza, DIRECTV Community Team
