DirecTV Stream (formerly DirecTV Now and AT&T TV) is a premium streaming multichannel television service offered in the United States by DirecTV.
The brand offers pay television service without a contract, with the service utilizing a customer's existing streaming TV hardware, such as a Roku or Amazon Fire TV device, and is also available on some smart TV systems like Tizen OS by Samsung, WebOS by LG and Vizio SmartCast, as well as on phones and tablets.
The service is similar to DirecTV via Internet, a streaming version of DirecTV's flagship satellite service, which requires a multi-year contract and includes an Android TV box called "Gemini." Unlike DirecTV via Internet, DirecTV Stream does not require a contract, and the Gemini device is optional. Channel packages between DirecTV via Internet and DirecTV Stream are mostly the same, though DirecTV via Internet offers a few broadcast and cable networks that are not available on DirecTV Stream. Additionally, DirecTV Stream's pricing is lower compared to DirecTV via Internet, which charges regional sports and equipment lease fees.[1]
DirecTV via Internet customers can watch programming from their subscription through the DirecTV app on other platforms, which is also used for DirecTV Stream.
