Well, sometimes on open community forums there are people that know things, in advance, etc...apparently you are not one of them...so thanks and you can move along.
Have used the Directv Stream app on Samsung TV for almost 2 years now and it's not bad...just want the updated version. And in fact the DTV app is what Roku uses so putting Roku in middle now just requires more clicks...it does have the latest app with profiles tho. Guess I use that for now.
You have the updated version for the Samsung. TV apps are notorious for performance compared to dedicated streaming device apps. You should always use an external streaming device. They are more powerful and receive considerable more updates. Remember, TV manufactures are in the business of selling TVs, not creating software.
I'm an electrical/computer engineer so know how this works...my Sammy is a higher end model that is only about a year old and the internal performance/stream quality is pretty good...for now...but yeah depending on how long I keep this TV an external box will be required at some point.

This is only an open community forum. No one here would have any idea. Contact support and inquire, or just be patient.
