Temporarly take DireccTV Stream to another city

Can I take my DirecTV Streaming device with me when I go on vacation in another city and just set it up on the local network while I'm there? What about taking it to Germany?

Yes. I do it all the time when traveling and staying in hotels. In fact using the service right now. Just understand that local programming and regional sport networks availability is based on your billing zip code.

Thanks. Local programming from home would be great. Any idea what happens if you were to take the device to Europe, specifically Germany?

Dtv stream box has google play store and there are vpn's available there. If OP used a VPN set to the United States would that work?

Using a VPN is blocked if they can detect it. A VPN is generally used to try to bypass location limitations and that very well may violate their content licenses with the networks so they don't allow it.
