Streaming on My Computer

Whenever I want to watch a program on my computer that is available to stream, it constantly asks me to download the DIRECTV player. I install it and then I keep getting the same message as though I haven't downloaded and installed it. What gives? I want to stream available programs.

Hello @nymgrz,

We understand that you're having trouble streaming with DirecTV online. Don't worry, we can help with that.


Does this only happen on one device are does this happen on all devices?

Beginning on Oct. 17, 2019 I have been unable to stream to my computer (Mac). Up until that point, I was streaming everyday. On my husband's PC, he gets the same error loop regarding the DIRECTV player. On my Mac, clicking the Watch Live button goes nowhere.

 

I am sure this is a problem on DirecTV's end. They need to fix it!

 

Other devices such as iPads and iPhones are able to stream.
