I can't even. I think posters are deliberately trying to provoke me.
Okay, well, assuming you're not: DIRECTV is a satellite TV service that gives you TV content using a dish and a receiver (and some plumbing in between). That content shows up on your TV screen.
Amazon Prime Video and Netflix are streaming services that also put content on your TV screen. They are not in any way related to DIRECTV. You can't get them through DIRECTV. DIRECTV cannot be gotten through them.
If your TV has a streaming app for Amazon Prime Video, and you have Amazon Prime, then launch and log into your TV's App using your Amazon Prime account credentials. While doing so, you won't be using your DIRECTV.
Similarly, if your TV has a streaming app for Netflix, then go to Netflix.com and sign up for a Netflix account (for a monthly fee), then fire up the TV's Netflix app, log in to your Netflix account and watch TV. While doing so, you won't be using your DIRECTV.
While watching DIRECTV you won't be using your Netflix or Amazon Prime Video.
If your TV doesn't have apps for Netflix and/or Amazon Prime Video, then purchase a streaming device that can connect to your TV (normally via an HDMI cable, hopefully your TV has a spare HDMI port available other than the one you're using for your DIRECTV receiver/client) that does have such an app. When you want to watch Netflix/Amazon Prime Video, switch to the HDMI input that has your device connected and watch. When you want to use your DIRECTV, switch back to its HDMI input.

Netflix, Amazon Prime, or any other app, CANNOT be added to DirecTV. This is a service by satellite that does not put competitor apps, or any optional apps, on their equipment.
