iPhone and HDMI to larger monitor

I connected my iPhone to a monitor with an HDMI cable to watch DirecTV on a bigger screen.  I can see all other apps on the larger screen and DirecTV works great on my iPhone but as soon as execute the DirecTV app the program just keeps loading and won't play.  Is there something I'm doing wrong or a setting I need to change?

Hi, @auszacfai. We're sorry you're having trouble watching the program on a larger monitor with your iPhone connected to it. We'd like to gather more details, can you tell us which type of monitor you're using? -Raymund, DIRECTV Community Specialist.

The DIRECTV app has copyright protection to where you cannot show DIRECTV on a screen when connected over HDMI. The solution is purchasing an Apple TV, Chromecast, or other streaming device to get the directv app on and stream directly on that streaming device.
