A:Answer Hi Tom, if you'd like to use a set-top box with this TV, be sure to connect it via HDMI! That way you can watch it on the corresponding HDMI source input. Xumo has 250+ streaming apps pre-installed. However, it doesn't offer a streaming app for DirecTV at this time. If you have any additional questions, please contact our customer support team at 1 (800) 701-0680. Thank you!
