Does DirecTV Stream require a 24-month contract?

DirecTV via Satellite and DirecTV via Internet does require a 2-year commitment and also fees. DirecTV Stream (the streaming version) BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) does not require a contract and has no fees. Check out the streaming version located here 

The main drawback with DirecTV Stream service is the proprietary streaming box is not available. You can buy the box from 3rd party retailers like eBay or Amazon if you want the device. 

Direct tv stream is JUNK , my friend ordered it and was never given the option or told he had the option to get his own streaming box to avoid the 24 month contract, so he’s had it less then month she just cancelled it cause didn’t know it didn’t have FOX channel and now there taking $480 due do to this 24 option that was NEVER TOLD that was optional if he was to get his own box. It’s ridiculous they bait you and don’t discuss all the facts when you first sign up.. gonna tell everyone not to get directTV PERIOD….

thats the service my friend ordered the DirectTV stream and the sales person had set him up with directv via internet without knowing till it had been  signed up for and when he found out FOX channel wasnt available he went to cancel it, BUT they had signed him up to the wrong (Edited per community guidelines) service and now he's screwed outta paying for $480 due to cancelling it thinking he had the streaming service but didnt,  sales person obviously didnt go over things with him at all ...   wont recommend them to anyone, this is ridiculous .
