AT&T TV is another excellent live TV streaming service that provides users with an opportunity to watch numerous channels through an internet connection. It offers a commendable list of channels like that of cable or satellite TV. If you have an LG smart TV and wish to install DirecTV Stream, there are a few simple steps that you can follow. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to go about it.
Check LG TV Compatibility
The first thing you will need to know is whether your particular LG TV model supports the DirecTV Stream app. Current LG smart TVs are compatible with the service while previous models might not be. To verify, navigate to the LG Content Store on your television and search for “DirecTV Stream. ”If you find the DirecTV Stream app in the LG TV list and the option is available for download, then your LG TV supports it.
Choose a Compatible Streaming Device
If you have an LG TV and cannot find the DirecTV Stream application to download, then there is no need to panic. You can still watch the service by using a compatible streaming device that does support the app such as:
- Apple TV 4K/HD
- Amazon Fire TV Stick is another product that can be used as an attachment to a smart television.
- Google Chromecast
- Roku Streaming Stick
All you need to do is plug one of these devices into your LG TV through an HDMI input. You are then able to download and launch the DirecTV Stream app from there, instead of going right from your LG TV.
