I did most of the suggestions that I can possibly do, not resolved. It's only the Samsung TV, my mobile and other devices are ok, Other apps in the TV are working good. Direct TV streaming in other TVs are good. It's only direct streaming in Samsung TV. In fact two of my smart samsung TVs.

Thanks for the update @cmonsanto


Try these options first to fix many picture and sound issues with the DIRECTV STREAM app.

1. Confirm your TV is compatible with the DIRECTV STREAM app.
2. Close and reopen the DIRECTV STREAM app.
3. Check your TV for software updates.
4. Uninstall and then reinstall the DIRECTV STREAM app.
5. Restart your TV.
6. Make sure your TV is connected to your home network. On your TV, select Settings, and then Network. Choose Network Status. You’ll see images of your TV, router, and internet as they connect in that order. Look for 3 dots between the images to show you’re connected. See an X? You’ve lost your connection.


Also, here is a list of compatible devices with DIRECTV STREAM

Same issue on 3 different Samsung TVs. Fully updated, even used an Ethernet connection. Blur for up to 20 seconds and random shut downs.

@Hoffmie , lots of threads here about the issues with the Samsung DirecTV Stream App. You'll have better experience with a DirecTV Stream box, Roku, etc.
