DirecTV Stream

DirecTV Stream (formerly DirecTV Now and AT&T TV) was a premium streaming multichannel television service offered in the United States by DirecTV. The brand offered 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 was 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 was similar to DirecTV via Internet, a streaming version of DirecTV's flagship satellite service, which required a multi-year contract and included an Android TV box called "Gemini." Unlike DirecTV via Internet, DirecTV Stream did not require a contract, and the Gemini device was optional. Channel packages between DirecTV via Internet and DirecTV Stream were mostly the same, though DirecTV via Internet offered a few broadcast and cable networks that were not available on DirecTV Stream. Additionally, DirecTV Stream's pricing was lower compared to DirecTV via Internet, which charged regional sports and equipment lease fees. DirecTV via Internet customers were able to watch programming from their subscription through the DirecTV app on other platforms, which was also used for DirecTV Stream.
