What brand tv do you own? Go to the app store on your tv and search for Directv and download it if available. Directv app isn't available on all tv's. Otherwise you need a Roku, AppleTV, Firestick or a Directv device (Gemini box or Gemini Air).

Hey there, @johnmharrod. The DIRECTV app is available for download in your TV's app store.


- If you have an Android TV, you can get the app from the Google Play Store; details are available here: Watch DIRECTV on Android TV and Chromecast TV | DIRECTV Support

 

- If you're using an Apple TV, follow these steps on this support page: Get and troubleshoot the DIRECTV App for Apple TV | DIRECTV Support


Should you require further assistance, please use the 'Contact Us' option located at the bottom of the linked support pages. Charles, DIRECTV Community Team

You lookup and download the DirecTV app like any other app through your TV's app store.

Not all "smart" TVs support the DirecTV app. If your doesn't, you would have to get a compatible streaming box instead (Roku, Firestick, etc.).

Even if your TV supports the app, they tend to have lackluster performance. A dedicated streaming box is preferred. Plus TVs don't keep up to date for apps like those dedicated boxes, as apps are secondary so they want to sell you a new TV instead.

If you have satellite service (as opposed to streaming-only), be aware that the app will be a bit limited compared to what is on your TV boxes. It is a secondary perk, not what the service model was built around.
