App is constantly buffering

DirecTV needs to step up and correct the issues because we and they all know it's totally their problem.

And to enlighten other readers: It's more than the Samsung App that are having issues.

Samsung, from the 2017 models, is an approved device and has been for years. Paying a premium price for a service that promises problem free streaming delivery is a breach of their own user agreement.

Same issue but it normally happens with direct stream TV.

I have Directv steam with a firestick and 500 mbs internet up/down.  Not a Samsung TV.  Stream is garbage and constantly buffering.  I suffer through it because I love Bally Sports.  Fix your tech Directv!

Hulu and YTTV both are superior and never had issues like this, but unfortunately no longer carry Bally Sports.

@bcbsncjlj Why do I think the issue is the app?  Because it’s the only app on multiple firesticks that has an issue.  Literally every other app works fine with no problems.  Combine that with literally hundreds of posts on this and other forums having the same problem.  So yeah, I think DTV has an issue with their app.   Congratulations on getting yours to work successfully; you appear to be in the minority.

I think you’re over complicating this.  So there is a data delivery problem, but somehow only 1 app on the entire firestick is affected by it?  Every single app other than DTV work fine.  The DTV app streams fine on my iPad in the same environment, so why is there no data delivery problem with that?  I just don’t want to watch TV on my iPad all of the time.  So the only difference is the Amazon DTV app.  Obviously there is some nuance causing it to fail.  I’m glad it works for you, but it doesn’t work for me and many others.  I’m not going to troubleshoot back technology any further, especially with many other options out there.  Bottom line: it’s an awful service.

“bad technology “ not back technology

The only thing I and most people care about is what works and what doesn’t.  Hulu live TV and YouTube TV are both multi-stream and multi-channel services that work fine in my environment.  They and DTV provide a similar service, so sorry they are competitors and will always be compared in the market.  According to your logic, if one light fixture in my entire home doesn’t work, but all of the others work, then the electrical wiring should be redone as opposed to fixing or replacing the faulty light.  Let’s just agree to disagree on this one.

I am having problems as well with stream.directv.com. It keeps going black at random points or repeating.

the watchespn app has no problems though. i have 1000 down plan.

Windows 10 PC inside of the edge browser 

No blockers, No VPN, I just reinstalled windows 10 from a USB stick (from Microsoft website. )to see if that would help and no dice. I have not tried incognito mode yet. I will try now.

It was doing good but it just blacked out now for about 6 seconds then came back

I will give it a try 

I tried in chrome same thing

I just tried chrome and edge on Windows 11 and they work fine. Are your browsers up to date? If so, this has to be a computer issue

It dose the same on all of my computers. It dose work good on my tablet though... But that is in the Application version. This is the website version i am using. stream.directv.com
