Directv stream

My parents are elderly and don't understand streaming service.  Is there something through directv that I could get with a remote that would assist them?  We moved and cannot have a dish on the house but want directv.  Trying to get them to log in somewhere is not an option either.

Directv has 2 Streaming services. The first is Directv Stream BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) where you provide the devices that you stream the service on.  The benefit of this service is you do not have any extra fees or a 2-year contract.  The second service is Directv Via Internet where Directv provides you with the streaming device(s) but you have a 2-year commitment and have fees.  The device that Directv provides is like having the Sat. service without the dish.  If you are interested in Directv BYOD you can purchase Directv Stream Boxes from 3rd party sellers such as eBay and Amazon at your own risk just make sure sellers take returns. Hope this helps.

We got you, @valberk. Yes, there is. You can get DIRECTV without a satellite dish, which requires high-speed internet and comes with a Gemini device with a remote that your parents can easily navigate. Please visit DIRECTV | Call 855.796.1459 to Connect Via Internet or Satellite to learn more. Elton, DIRECTV Community Specialist
