Code 205.4 when using Bally Sports App.

I am having the same issue. It stopped working for me around the same time yesterday. Were they able to fix it?

Not yet. I've been on the phone with either DirecTV or Bally for over 2 hours today.

I am getting error code 205.4 saying the isn't the ID I use for this service. I have double checked my login and it works for the DirectTv website.

No, the suggested links did not work. I've tried multiple times to reset my ID and password, to see if Bally will acknowledge the new ID and/or password. There's an issue with Bally not recognizing the ID. I spent over 3 hours on the phone with DirecTV and Bally today, with no success. Bally has an open customer service ticket to try to resolve the issue. It's their third open ticket. What a mess!

Kelyons11 - The exact same error message is what I've received at least 20 times.

Thank you for letting us know this @LCTN22

Since you are receiving the same error, it is necessary to restart the device and try again.
If you are using DIRECTV STREAM device follow the next steps:

1. Press and release the red button on the side of the DIRECTV STREAM Device.
2. Once the device restarts, attempt to sign in again.

Try this and let us know how it goes. We'll be attentive.

I’m having the same issue. I try to login with my DIRECTV account to Bally Sports and get care code 205.4. I’ve change the browser and cleared the cookies and cache. Nothing works. The problem started on 7/7. 

Hi @Zacp28 your post caught our attention.

Have you tried using the Bally Sport app? Are you getting the same issue over there? I would appreciate this information to further investigate about this log in issue.

I'll be here attentive to your answer to work on a fix.

Yes I’m trying to connect my DIRECTV account while I’m in the Bally Sports app.  It has always worked. My DIRECTV credentials work on all the other apps. But when I’m signed into Bally Sports it does not.

Bally sports direct me to the DIRECTV login screen. From there I get care code 205.4. 

Having the exact same issue.  Frustrating. Code 205.4.  Happening on the DIrecTV sign on screen.  Says my ID is invalid.  But my ID is valid.  Global issue on DIrecTV side I think. Please get this fixed ASAP!
