Streaming at 2 locations

Can I stream at my second home and main home with same account?

Yes. I do it all the time when I travel and vacation.  Also you have access to stand alone apps also. Not all but a lot.

Can you watch in 2 locations simultaneously? For instance, I can watch at home while my husband watches at the other house? In settings it seems like there’s a limit to the locations one can set.

Hey, we're here to help! @evegasein


You are able to have two locations installed with DIRECTV with only one account. However to prevent "Mirroring Fraud" you have to either bring all receivers to the location you are going to and use them there, or which ever receivers you are bringing, the other receivers that are at your other address need to be temporarily deactivated. If you must have service working at both locations at the same exact time, then you can still do that, but you will need to make a second account for the second location.


Let us know how this goes and if you have any more questions, we'll be happy to help.

Ignore Corineka (DIRECTVHelp) answer. That applies to the DirecTV satellite service. With DirecTV Stream you can stream up to 20 devices within your home network and SIMULTANEOUSLY up to 3 devices out-of-home.
