Yes. Directv satellite and DirecTV Stream are two completely separate services which have to be subscribed to and paid for separately. Most of us wish they had chosen a different name for the streaming service, it causes much confusion.

If you subscribe to DirecTV Stream you should be able to use the app on any device that you can download it on. If you are not able to download it or don't see it to a device, it probably is not available for use on that device.

So does that mean I need another subscription in addition to my satellite subscription to access DirecTV Stream?

DirecTV and DirecTV Stream are two separate services. Each one requires a paid subscription to use it. If you have the satellite service you can't use the DirecTV Stream app, unless you have a subscription to DirecTV Stream.

So which one is better, the satellite package or the streaming package? What is the difference?

Hello @jashevelew, we're here to provide answer to your questions. Currently DIRECTV STREAM is a service that is separate from our DIRECTV Satellite.
You can still enjoy all of your favorite programming from the DIRECTV App that is supported on iOS 13 and above, or any phone or tablet running Android 7.0 API 24 software and above.
Find more information, here: https://direc.tv/3M2zbpW .

DIRECTV is a satellite only TV service, while DIRECTV STREAM allows you to stream live TV channels trough your internet connection.
DIRECTV satellite:
1. Requires one of our receivers to every TV you want to use the service.
2. Requires to install a dish on the rooftop.
3. New customer will be attached to a contract for 24 months.
4. You'll be able to enjoy of the programming through the DIRECTV App.
5. You can restart select shows that are already in progress with the DIRECTV Restart feature. You will have access to sports and/or local programming.
7. You don't have to worry about limited or delayed content and multiple people in your household can still enjoy what they want to watch simultaneously.
DIRECTV STREAM:
1. It doesn't require a contract and doesn't have second year price hikes.
2. It offers consumers a way to stream live television and sports via their home internet connection without the need to install a temperamental satellite dish or go through the process of wiring a home for cable.
3. The DIRECTV App is compatible with other devices such Roku, Fire TV Stick, Apple and Android. It just needs to be downloaded on the device, and then you can enjoy of the programming.
4. It can be used on our DIRECTV STREAM device, which you can use to access a thousand of apps like Netflix and more on Google Play.
By the way, check out the channel lineup of DIRECTV and DIRECTV STREAM.
We'll be here to help if further assistance is needed.

In my previous comment, part of it I actually meant to “recommend if” not it.

This is the DIRECTV STREAM section of the forum. Though would be suggested to start your own thread as would be different than the topic of this one.
