watch regional sports remotely

If I watch regional sports from another city, will I see broadcasts from my home city or the city I am visiting?

We can help with your local regional sports viewing, @Varmus.

 

Going to another city? No problem - you can still watch local channels. Make sure you enable location services on your mobile device  if you want to stream the locals at your location. 

  1. Press Home on your remote.
  2. Open Settings, General, System Summary.
  3. Make sure your zip code is correct.
  4. Go to Location, Location Status and toggle Off. 
  5. Toggle your Location Status On after you restart.

Go here for more on Local Channel viewing.

 

We're here if you have questions.

Let me try to understand this. I live in St. Louis. If I visit Chicago and don't make any changes on DTV Stream, I will get local channels from St. Louis. If I change location status, I will get Chicago locals. Is that correct?

Hi @Varmus thanks for reaching out.


That's correct, You can Learn how your location and billing ZIP Code affect local channels you can watch with DIRECTV STREAM.



We hope this helps!
