App is broken on first generation Fire TV. It says I have to upgrade but then just sits there. I also can't locate it in the app store. This appears to mean it's no longer available/compatible with my device. Both companies are to blame in my opinion. I will not buy that junk Fire TV Pendant or use Directv Now.
AT&T on Thursday released an important update to DirecTV Now for the Apple TV, adding features such as single sign-on.
Single sign-on means subscribers only have to enter their credentials once to unlock similarly compatible third-party apps. Previously those channel apps had to be unlocked one-by-one, particularly cumbersome when using the Siri Remote.
With DIRECTV, you can watch TV anytime and almost anywhere. Sign in to DIRECTV entertainment with your ID and password. Select Watch Online.; Browse available titles and make your selection. Heads up: If you see an Activate now or Upgrade button, you don’t subscribe to the channel airing the program you selected. Follow the on-screen prompts to subscribe and watch the program. FuboTV: Watch Live Sports, TV Shows, Movies & News. Dec 23, 2015 by fuboTV. 3.6 out of 5 stars 36,539.
DirecTV Now has also been integrated with Apple's native 'TV' app. That interface makes it easier to keep up with movies and TV shows from different services, mixing everything into one flow and syncing progress between iOS and tvOS devices. So far the most conspicuous absence has been Netflix. Ios handoff requirements.
Siri voice commands can meanwhile be used to find titles in DirecTV's on-demand library. Alternately they can be used to tune into live channels, for instance by saying 'Siri, tune in to Univision.'
The update should arrive automatically, after which subscribers will be prompted to sync with Apple's TV app.
