Streaming Services

If I were to subscribe to Paramount+, Max, History Vault, etc. through DirecTV and use the AppleTV app to access:

  1. Is on-demand content from these providers commercial free?
  2. Is access restricted to within the DirecTV app or can you also sign into the streaming service via its individual app?

Hey there, @geekdoc! Paramount+ with SHOWTIME has some channels on DIRECTV that are completely commercial-free. Max and HISTORY Vault provide ad-free on-demand content, and you can easily access Paramount+ and Max through DIRECTV or their apps on Apple TV using your DIRECTV login. And for HISTORY Vault, you can check it out through its app or by using On-demand in Networks on the DIRECTV App. Charles, DIRECTV Community Team

Thanks for the response.  The issue I'm finding is that if you go to on demand in the DirecTV app, it's not showing all available shows.  So from on demand, I click networks, and then click one of the networks.  It's not showing everything that's available when you go to the network's app.

We know that some TV show episodes or seasons may not be available on demand, which can be frustrating. Programmers decide which shows and episodes are aired. We suggest using the onscreen guide/menu to search for shows by title or checking the programmer's website or App for streaming options. Note that some shows/movies may only be available as chargeable On-Demand and not included in a channel's On-Demand library. Charles, DIRECTV Community Team

If I already have a Paramount+/Max subscription, how do I use the DirecTV provided subscriptions with the apps when my current app subscriptions expire?

Ensure your Paramount+ and MAX subscriptions are canceled to avoid conflict. To activate Paramount+ via DIRECTV, visit paramountplus.com/link and link your DIRECTV account with the same email. More details here: Add Paramount+ with SHOWTIME to Your DIRECTV Package: Stream TV and Movies. For MAX, use your DIRECTV credentials and select the sign-in with provider option, additional info here: Get help with the Max App | DIRECTV Support Charles, DIRECTV Community Team

Thanks.  I canceled Paramount+ and will link the accounts when it cancels in August.

I really wish DirecTV's Discovery+ and PeacockTV offered the plans without ads (even if it costs extra).

Thank you for reminding us about this feature. We've already shared your idea about the skip-ad feature. We appreciate your support! Charles, DIRECTV Community Team
