DirecTV Stream is one of the most well-known live TV streaming services that provide viewers with the opportunity to watch hundreds of channels for movies, sports, news, and other content. I own a Vizio smart TV and I wondered whether I could install and watch DirecTV Stream on my device. Learning and setting up the DirecTV Stream on your Vizio TVs is straightforward, and it only takes the following simple steps.
Download the DirecTV Stream App
The first step that you will have to take involves ensuring that the DirecTV Stream app is installed on your Vizio TV. Here is how:
1. Press the V button on your Vizio remote to access the Vizio SmartCast home screen.
2. Click the Apps option and browse through the apps to find and open the DirecTV Stream app.
3. On the screen, you will be guided through the process of downloading and installing the DirecTV Stream application on your Vizio Smart TV.
After the installation process, you will see the DirecTV Stream icon on the home screen of your Vizio TV and you can launch the application any time you want to.
Create a DirecTV Stream Account
However, you need to have an account with DirecTV Stream if you do not possess one to be able to stream. Here’s how to sign up:
1. Having navigated to the app store on your Vizio TV, launch the DirecTV Stream application.
2. Click on the Create Account on the screen.
3. You will then be asked to type in the email address and create a password to finalize the signup process.
Log In to DirecTV Stream
Once you’ve created your DirecTV Stream account, follow these steps to log in on your Vizio TV:
1. Switch on the Vizio TV and open the DirecTV Stream application.
2. Please, type your account email address and the password for it.
3. Select Sign In.
Once you have logged into your account with your login credentials, then you will be able to watch DirecTV on your Vizio.
Pick Your DirecTV Stream Package
Once you have created the account and logged into the DirecTV Stream, you can proceed and choose the channel package of your choice. Packages make it possible to select the number of channels you would prefer to be available for streaming.
DirecTV Stream has plans such as Entertainment which comprises cable network channels, choice for additional sports and movie networks, and ultimate which includes numerous channels, among others.
Choose a package that best fits your requirements and financial plan. Further, there are also channel add-ons if you wish to access even more channels in the program. You can also change the subscription package at any time in the DirecTV Stream account preferences.
Stream DirecTV on Your Vizio TV
Once your DirecTV Stream account is set up and you’ve selected a package, you can now start streaming live TV and On Demand shows/movies with just a few clicks:
1. Click the DirecTV Stream app on the Vizio Smart TV home screen.
2. Just navigate through the channels and programs available to watch or type in the channel/program that you wish to watch.
3. Select the show you want and click on any airing or episode to begin watching.
It’s really that simple! You can now watch thousands of shows, movies, events, and much more from DirecTV Stream right through the app on your Vizio smart television.
Set Up Unlimited Streams
Another thing that I found interesting with DirecTV Stream is that it lets you stream on 20 devices at the same time with just one account depending on the package.
To take advantage of multi-device streaming:
1. To log in to the DirecTV Stream account, follow the steps given below:
2. The streaming devices are located under account settings.
