DirecTV Stream with Starlink

I get the following error message when I try to run the DirecTV stream via FireTV:

"Looks like we ran into trouble loading this content. Please try again on a bit"

It works with my old internet copper connection 10 MBs; Starlink download speed runs between 70 Megabits per second and 110 Megabits per second and I can stream Netflix, Amazon Prime Movies and my while my kid plays online games.

Skylink is not the problem, clearly Directv is.

Solution???

My service is now working again - hopefully they'll get it fixed for everyone else.

Ugh, Karlos, I was so hopeful.. looks like mine is still not working.   For anyone that is interested in the details, I did a quick test using my android phone w the DTVStream app, and if I'm running on 5G the service works fine, all channels flowing.. soon as I switch over to my Starlink internet, the stream stops, and says "looks like we ran into some trouble loading this content.  Please try again in a bit"  LOL - thats an understatement.  I'm located in in the foothills east of Sacramento CA

@Karlos_GVCA Just make sure it's actually working. For a while it would be sporadic for me. It would work, then a few minutes later it would not work.

FYI, it's still not working for me.

@TroyClark I'm in the foothills too - Garden Valley to be exact. I did update my DStream app. Have you tried viewing in a computer browser? https://stream.directv.com/watchnow If that works then you know you have a problem with the app. Also might be worth powering off your starlink dish for a complete reboot and router too.

Karlos, we're in Rescue.. and I just restarted Starlink & Router.. no change.  The computer browser path also doesn't work..  unless I hot spot off my phone, then it works :)

I don't know how you got lucky, but hope it sticks for you.  Everything else (Apple, Hulu, HBO, Netflix) all work fine on the Starlink - just not DirecTV Stream.. sigh
