Care codes are DirecTV satellite error codes. Are you a previous satellite user? Using the same credentials? If so, you need to use different credentials.

Are you a subscriber for both DirecTV Satellite and DirecTV Stream services? The 2 are not the same. Each is a paid subscription service. If you are, then you need to use different credentials for each service. This is a well known bug with the services. Also, if you are using the native app for the Samsung Smart TV, You need to be aware that it is very buggy. Most have opted to go with an external streaming device.
