DirecTV Android app always says that there is no network connection when there is a connection

When starting the DirecTV app on any Android-based device (i.e., tablet, smartphone, TV, etc.) the app claims there is no network connection even though live TV is playing behind the message box.

latest update of ur stream App is terrible.

So sorry I updated DirecTV Stream app. On 2 Samsung TVs. It’s so frustrating — can’t fast forward for rewind without it going all the way back to the start of program. Video quality is much worse. Hard to use menu—if u can even get back to it. we sure miss UVerse!!!

Home screen very small
