Streaming outside household limit 2, but cannot even do 1

My account was set-up so I can share this with my parents - we live in 2 different households. We were told that we can have 2 TVs at each house going at the same time. However, we cannot do that, not even 1. It's becoming frustrating since we were told that this would be an option.

Record Series Not Working

I'm trying to record PGA Tour Golf for the whole season. Went to the Guide this morning for the current tournament and had no trouble recording today's telecast or tomorrow's either.

Since I receive my Max subscription through my DirecTV Stream subscription, I am locked into the Ad Free plan (1080/no Dolby Atmos). There is currently no way to upgrade that plan, either through DirecTV or through Max. That needs to be fixed. It’s absurd that we are locked into a mid-level plan. Th

Small thumbnail

When watching a tape of a basketball game, I sometimes FF to get farther along in the game. But the thumbnail is so small, I have to sit right next to the TV to observe the score. Any way to make it bigger? This is my only pet peeve with streaming. With Spectrum, I could stay back on my couch and se

How do you force quit the DIRECTV app?

I have DIRECTV Stream service and I use the DIRECTV app on my TCL smart TV to watch my streaming channels. The DIRECTV app seems to freeze fairly regularly and once it does none of the buttons on the remote can get you out. How can I force quit the app and restart it?
