when is the DirecTV stream app coming to LG WebOS TVs?

hi there,

I am a bit disappointed to see Hulu, Fubo, Sling, etc. have native apps on my new LG OLED tv, but not DirecTV. What's DirecTV's plan to make it happen?

Thanks in advance!

It's possible, but I would not count on it in the near future. Many have requested for years with no known development in the works, Based on their history with dedicated TV apps, You would better be off going with a true dedicated streaming device.

Don't hold your breath. Native TV streaming apps are inferior to stand-along devices like Roku, FireStick, Apple TV, or DirecTV Stream devices.

If these comments are true, then whats the point of a smart tv then.  LG's response to me when I inquired about another major service not supported under webos was to get a firestick!  Fine, but why pay the premium for a networked display.  Make a dumb display with an appropriate price point.
