What device are you using? WiFi or haed-wired? If its buffering then you have congestion somewhere along the data path. DirecTV Stream is very heavy data oriented.  You need to determine where the congestion is coming from: internet speed, multiple connection, router, modem, ISP, etc. There is a total different data path with live streaming services compared to on-demand services like Netflix, Hulu, etc. Have you tried to restart your environment: Router and modem?

I've had Dtv stream for 6 months using Dtv stream box, firestick, and sideloaded android tv app. I've never seen a buffering issue on any of my devices.

The direct TV app buffers every few seconds on my Sansung TV, LG TV, galaxy note 10, and wired pc using Chrome browser. Has since i signed up a month ago.

Most are wifi, pc is wired, internet is fiber gigabyte from ATT, router is $500 gaming router.

No stream issues with YouTube TV, hulu TV, Netflix or Disney plus. 

Had to switch to direct TV for local sports but can even watch a single game. Absolutely trash app and company AND service. All they do is blame my internet like the employees in here... not my internet.

You obviously just here to help scam new customers into trying this garbage service. Go read the app reviews.. only way direct TV can bring in customers is by strong arming local sports teams to leave better streaming companies.

Will need to figure out another way to watch my team or just pirate it I guess. Shame I have to resort to that based on shady business practices and garbage software.

Your remarks are really not worth replying to. Take your issue to a support rep. I am done with communicating to hardheaded individuals. Continue paying those monthly fees and enjoy. Have a great night.
