One of the most viewed live TV streaming services available to consumers allowing hundreds of channels for movies, sports, news, and more is DirecTV Stream. Knowing if you could install the DirecTV Stream app straight on your LG smart TV would be of interest to you if you possess one.
Check LG TV Compatibility
Starting a viewing of DirecTV Stream requires you to make sure your LG TV is compatible with the app in issue. Indeed, most of the LG smart TVs from 2018 and subsequent models feature the DirecTV Stream app-compatible capability.
Go to the LG Content Store app on your LG TV to verify compatibility and search for "DirecTV Stream". Should the DirecTV Stream show up in the search, your TV model enables app download and installation. For a list of applications fit for the specific model of your device, you may also consult your TV handbook or the LG website.
Should your LG TV prove incompatible, you need not worry as you may access DirecTV by plugging other compatible streaming devices like Roku or Firestick into the TV.
Enable the “Unknown Sources” Setting on LG TV
To start with, LG TVs come with a security setting that does not allow you to install any apps that are not certified by LG. Before downloading DirecTV Stream, you will need to turn off this setting.
To enable app downloads:
1. From the home screen of your LG TV, navigate to the Settings menu > General > Safety.
2. Look for another option that will say “Unknown Sources” and tap on it
3. When this prompt appears, make sure you want to enable the installation of third-party apps. This will enable you to download DirecTV Stream.
After enabling “Unknown Sources,” your TV is set up for downloading and installation of the DirecTV Stream app.
