Apple TV

My Directv login works everywhere but Apple TV. There is not a Directv app on Apple TV anymore, just ATT TV. My login does not work on AT TV. Error code 201.

How do I resolve?

There has never been a DirecTV app on Apple TV. The only possible app was DIRECTV NOW which is the old name of AT&T TV NOW, which is a streaming only service.

DirecTV has no app for media streaming devices (Apple TV, Roku, etc.) for TV viewing. You pay for each authorized TV on the service, so such an option would circumvent that. The DirecTV app is only for mobile devices (smartphone and tablet), but disables casting/airplay if you try to connect it to a TV.

Some individual channels have an app you can put on Apple TV or other such devices. You then link it to whatever TV provider you have, if yours is listed. This is on a channel by channel basis, so not all of them will list DirecTV (or have an app at all).

This is how you resolve it.
