Directv stream box settings to reduce data usage

My internet provider is Viastat and I have 3 Directv stream boxes. I am using up my data allowance very quickly even though I have my Viastat data extender on.  Are there any settings I can change on my stream box that would help make my data allowance last longer, i.e. picture settings, etc. 

Thank you in advance for your help

Hi Sebastian,
The link you sent me was for streaming with the app or computer. I am using the Directv stream device or box purchased from Directv. It does not have streaming quality best, better, good. It has Display settings with screen resolution, HDR etc.  What screen resolutions would help save data?  Should I have HDR on or off?

Thanks!
