call direct tv and ask if they provide a streaming link.... streaming devices (Roku/FireTV etc) require an internet connection only.... they don't need directTV, which provides their own access to specific channels/content. You set up the sticks by selecting content providers.... lots of them are free and some charge $$. ie.: NETFLIX ~ $10/MO; AMAZON PRIME ~ $10/MO ; TUBI TV IS FREE AS ARE SOOOOO MANY OTHERS; ACORN (BBC MOVIES AND TV) ~ $5/mo.... The free sites include commercials; the ones you pay for do not have any commercials YET. BIG warning: with an internet account comes an amount of gb... 500/1000/3000.... when you stream it uses it .... in ANY CASE YOUR DEVICE WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM EVEN WHEN YOU TURN YOUR TV OFF... YOU NEED TO STOP WATCHING BY GOING TO "HOME". IF YOU PLUG YOUR TV INTO A POWER OUTLET TURN THE POWER OUTLET OFF EVERYTIME YOU TURN YOUR TV OFF. Most tv/monitors, when off, actually have a bit of power running to it to keep it in standby mode. That power can keep your streaming device running in the background.... How old is your tv? you have to be able to connect internet access to it, which requires coax cable connector. If you decide to use a streaming device you should do some research on youtube or just do a search for "what can i watch using a Roku or FireTVstick". We cancelled all of our cable/direct tv and just use an internet provider and streaming everything else. We are saving about $80/mo.... also you might want to get an antenna (indoor or outdoor) and scan for local tv broadcasting: which is free. Do some research about which channels are available in your geographic area before buying an antenna.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your Roku stick will need to be updated to the latest version. I had to buy a new Roku to get Direct Now. I don't think it matters if your TV is non smart. It just has to have an HDMI port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes and the remote has the DirecTV now button on it for easy access
