Can’t load direct stream

Almost daily I get the message “looks like we ran into a problem loading this content. Try again later. 

I have to uninstall app and download, log in, to get it to work. This happens on all 3 tvs in my Josie.

Hello @Jroese. Let's check together the options to improve your TV experience.

We want to take a closer look at what is happening with your TVs, please share with us the streaming devices you are using with the DIRECTV STREAM app (brand and model). Have you tried mobile devices or PC/Laptops with same results?

Finally, please share with us the internet connection type (WiFi, Ethernet or both)you are using.

Thanks for the information about your devices @Jroese.

The TV models you shared with us are not compatible
with the DIRECTV STREAM app. Meaning you might not be able to download or watch content directly from those devices. However, could you please let us know if you are using a streaming device to access to your service on these TVs? Such as Roku, Fire Stick, DIRECTV STREAM box, Chromecast, etc.

Thanks for that @Jroese. Let's do some troubleshooting steps to improve your service.

First, make sure you are using a compatible FireStick. 

We want to check how is your network connection working on your FireStick device:

1. Select Settings, then System, and then Network.
2. Locate your current network by finding the check mark and signal strength info next to it.

Tip: Don’t see the check mark or want to connect to a different network? Select Rescan and select the new network.

In case you have problems with your internet connection. There are some steps you can try to get a better connection:

1. Try to connect your devices via Ethernet.
2. Restart your home network connection.
3. Use default settings.

Finally, you can also try to clear cookies and caches.

1. Select Settings, then Apps, and then Manage Installed Apps.
2. Choose the DIRECTV STREAM app.
3. Select Clear cache and Clear data from the window that appears.

Thanks for the information, @Jroese.

The next step to take is to reset your password.

After changing the password, sign out of the devices and sign in again with the new password.

Let us know the results, we'll be attentive to your response.
