I threaten to cancel DIRECTV every year and they lower my price back to around $70 a month for over 200 channels and give me Sunday ticket for free.


About a month ago Directv added a new streaming app that pretty much gives you Directv Stream for free to satellite custmers. So you really only need one Dirctv box and can stream every channel in your package using the app. If you have a storm that messes up the sat signal you switch over to streaming. I live in MS and used the app in Gulf Shores a few days ago and could watch all my channels inc local MS channels in Alabama. Not sure if there is limited number of streams at once.

This has been a great addition to the DTV bundle. Unfortunately I will always have live cable due to my wife being a moron when it comes to technology. I have been able to download the app and stream all directv channels on my TVs that don't have a receiver. The only issue I have been having is the buffering, not sure if it's just me or if everyone sees this problem. I don't have any problems with any other streaming services, just DTV app.

Ok, this was very helpful. I have two extra bedrooms for guests and had a DTV receiver on one of them, as well as one in my master bedroom. I have Fire TV's in all three bedrooms and just downloaded the DTV app and logged on to my account and they work perfectly so I can get rid of all of the recievers but one, which is on my living room TV. I also downloaded the app to my iPhone. Thanks for the heads' up! Since DTV no longer has the Sunday ticket I will eventually be switching services (probably to You Tube TV) but this works great for now,
