DirecTV Satellite and DirecTV Now are totally different services. 

You can view some live DirecTV satellite channels on your Windows 10 PC using your web browser. Log into your account and select "Watch Now" to see what's available.

Many thanks for the prompt response...…..
The "Watch Now" link you refer to does not exist once logged in; however, I used the "Watch TV" link to get to a "Stream Directv" link at the bottom of the page to find available channels.  Any channel I selected created a pop-up requiring me to install Directv (adobe) Flash Player.  Since this player is already installed in Windows 10 (and has been turned on), installation is not required.  After several failed attempts to stream Directv content, I relented and installed the player anyway.  Results were the same as before..... keeps insisting the player must be installed before streaming any programming.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Firefox (latest update) and Microsoft Edge.  Didn't bother to try Google Chrome.  Started having conflict issues after update 1803.
