What is DIRECTV Stream?
DIRECTV Stream (previously AT&T TV) is a streaming television service offered by AT&T through the internet. It is a service that delivers live TV channels, on-demand programs, and cloud DVR through the Internet rather than satellite. It lets you enjoy your favorite TV shows on the most used streaming platforms, smart TVs, tablets, and phones, computers, and more, with unlimited streaming at home and three outside streams.
So Does DIRECTV Stream Require Equipment?
This is contrary to satellite DIRECTV, which can only be accessed through a satellite dish and receiver equipment. What is needed is merely an internet connection and a compatible device which includes smart TVs, streaming sticks or a mobile device. Here is a breakdown of equipment requirements for DIRECTV Stream:
Internet Connection
- DIRECTV Stream is an internet streaming service, so it calls for fast broadband internet connection to operate. The recommended connection speeds are 8-10 Mbps for the smooth operation of the application. Streaming video use may also have to include data caps.
Streaming Device
- The other requirement that you need for watching DIRECTV Stream is a compatible streaming device. Supported devices include:
* TVs with Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV 4K, and Google Chromecast media players
* iPhone and Android smart-phones and tablets
* Internet browser in computers or laptop
* Smart TVs from LG, Samsung, and Vizio with the [DIRECTV app]
No Set-Top Box
- DIRECTV Stream does NOT necessarily have to be used with a set-top receiver box or satellite dish like in the case of satellite DIRECTV. With streaming devices, the TV will be able to find the internet without the need for other accessories.
No Installation
- Unlike other traditional cable and satellite television services, DIRECTV Stream does not need professional installation. Just plug in your internet and streaming device to start watching your preferred shows. It is not necessary to install an antenna/dish or any cables that are outside the house.
Has Cloud DVR Storage
- Your recorded programs are saved in the cloud rather than in the equipment’s DVR. There is no limit on the cloud DVR, so you can record as many programs as necessary and watch them at any time. Same applies for DVR equipment, as no need to rent/buy them anymore.
It Offers Remote Viewing
- Since it is an online streaming service, you can use DIRECTV Stream to watch your favorite shows anywhere you want as long as you have internet access. You can stream on –smartphones, tablets, and laptops anywhere you are. That is what I call real mobility!!!
