Block on demand purchases on DIRECTV streaming

I recently switched from Comcast to ATT with DIRECTV streaming. I have a TV in a vacation rental unit and didn’t realize this was not possible. I’ll have to switch back to Comcast if there are no plans to enable this functionality. With Comcast, I could block on demand purchases and also block recording capability.

It is unknown why these controls, which are available with DirecTV (satellite), were not implemented in DIRECTV STREAM. As far as I am aware there was no official plan confirmed to add this later, but would not make sense for it not to be in the works. Hopefully the new ownership will clarify the direction on this.

Be aware of any rules/regulations that may apply if you mean this is a unit you rent out, as that gets covered under business/commercial instead of residential/personal.
