I had a Roku and the DTV app would sign in so I bought the FireStick .
with the FireStick I was able to sign in. I have the option to record programs or watch recorded programs

So you can log in to the app, but no live channels are available to stream, correct?
You can stream with the Roku, correct?

I can’t stream with Firestick. With Roku I couldn’t sign in. I also can’t watch on demand with FireStick.
The menus are there. No error message

You originally said you could log in with a Roku.
Some questions:
Are you a "DirecTV Stream" or "DirecTV via Internet" subscriber? They are different.
Can you log in to your account?
Have you even been able to stream the service?
Does any channel stream?
What package are you subscribed to?
Does it work on a mobile device like your phone?

It sounds like you are a DirecTV Satellite subscriber trying to stream with a streaming device in your backyard, correct?

With Roku I could never sign in.
with Firestick I can sign in. I think the problem is the Direct TV Stream video player doesn’t work on Vizio tv.

Huh? The TV is only a display. The player is in the app. Are you a Satellite subscriber or stream subscriber.

I was on the phone with DirectTV for an hour. They viewed my setup via my camera phone. Still no solution

I can stream on my SmartTVs just fine.
With the Vizio TV and using Firestick 4K I don’t get the play button for Live TV or for on demand content
