DirecTV App FAQs

What's the difference between DirecTV and AT&T TV these days?

DirecTV was AT&T's original moniker, rather than a name. This implies that there is no difference between the two apps. However, because DirecTV Now has been replaced by a new title, if you search for it on Amazon, you'll come across AT&T TV now instead.

What is DirecTV Now?

DirecTV’s streaming service is called DirecTV Now. You still need a dedicated device from AT&T to receive it, in which case your TV accesses it via one of its HDMI inputs. There are apps that can control it which is what the article above explains. Only Samsung has a smart TV that integrates with DirecTV directly.

Is it true that DirecTV is no longer available?

No, DirecTV isn't unavailable; it's just been renamed, which is why you can't find it on the Google Play Store or other stores. This app is now known as AT&T TV Now, so type that name into the App Store to get it.

Is there a way to get DirecTV for free if you have a Firestick?

No, DirecTV is not free for anyone; you must pay a monthly fee to watch live TV channels. If you want to watch some free live channels, however, you should download Mobdro, Live NetTV, or RedBox TV. These FireTV apps are completely free to use and do not contain any ads.
