You have a Directv Stream box? It's not an app. Connect the box to the tv via hdmi cable and it's just there like a cable tv box would be.

My Directv box is downstairs and connected to my LAN.  My upstairs TV is also in the LAN.  Shouldn’t I be able to watch Directv channels upstairs?

No. The DirecTV box doesn't stream anything over your LAN. You'll need a streaming device on your LG TV, like a Roku or Firestick.

You need a streaming box on each TV. So on your 2nd TV you need a DIRECTV STREAM box, Roku, Firestick etc.

It is one box to one TV. Hope that clears it up.
