Directv Streaming on Windows PC without Flash
I received a message from my browser that FLASH will no longer be available as of Feb 2020. Is the Directv Player for Browsers being updated to no longer need Flash or is there a PC Player being developed? I often use my PC as a streaming device (especially my Windows Surface device) when I am away from home or outside at my home. I do not want to lose this capability come Feb 2020.

Hey, @Dunkerts!
Thanks for reaching out. We'd be glad to discuss this Flash concern with you.
We don't have any information about a proactive change to the player, but we should have information available when we get closer to that time.
Let us know if you have anymore questions!

Did you get a response or find a work-around for this issue? My Mac is now giving me the same error of Not Supported Adobe Flash --
I would like to be able to continue to use my computer to stream but nothing right now.
Thank you.

The claim was more information would be presented when it's closer to the time of flash deprecation. That time has passed and yet directtv player is still using flash. What's the update on this issue?

The time has not passed. Flash support doesn't ends on Dec 31, which is just under 2 months away. I agree they are cutting in close with an official announcement, but they still have some time.

No one here knows when AT&T will release any info on a replacement but one would assume they may wait until the last week of Dec.

I did find a workaround for the Watch on Computer option.
I use the Chrome Browser, it has a Flash Player extension that you can activate.
