In short
DIRECTV is a free Android app from DIRECTV, LLC. It is a great way to watch shows.
Highlights
Highly recommend using the mobile app
Much easier than using the desktop software
And awesome ability to manage DVR
Nice to have options
But I do love watching my shows on my phone
Great quality of picture
Local channels are a little tricky but everything else works well
It's always optimizing for the best picture
It's a pretty easy app to use
The remote control works well
Fails to load half the time and rarely works right
It keeps saying network problem and to check my settings
Also I hate the half screen when forced to watch previews
Constant force closures and stelreaming issues
So tired of empty promises companies use to sell their junk
Unable to warch Direcrv period on my chromebook
Without a doubt the worst streaming video app there is
Keeps saying connection error
Keep getting an error code
Now it keeps saying no internet connection
