Yes, you can definitely watch DIRECTV on the Go via laptop, tablet, or phone. All you need is an Internet connection and your DIRECTV login credentials (email address and password). 

You can watch online here:
https://www.directv.com/guide

Choose the program you want to watch, click 'Watch', login to your account, and you should be good to go..

You will not be able to view any recording on the DTV receiver on a laptop.

I don't fully understand. Are you telling me that I cannot watch any of my Directv channels remotely via internet and laptop? Because others have said I can.

@bassbob no @shannon02 was stating that DVR recordings cannot be accessed. That does not mean ANYTHING about DIRECTV channels. They still 100% work fine.

Hello @bassbob  we are here ready to help.

We appreciate your prompt responses @detuch254 and @shannon02

They are right, you can watch your DIRECTV service on your Laptop by using your credentials and an internet connection. Let us clarify with you that in order to watch any recordings outside of home, there will be restrictions due the network. However, you will be able to watch our programming by following this link.

We'll be here if you have any extra questions.
