Direct TV Satellite user trying to stream

I am trying to stream to my samsung TV.  I have the Direct TV streaming app installed.  When I log into it using my satellite user ID and password, I get an error code 201 - saying my user ID or password are incorrect.  I have confirmed they are correct by signing into my Direct TV account on my laptop.  Any ideas why I cannot log into the streaming ap on the TV??

There is no DTV streaming app.  There is the DTV app that combined the 2 separate apps.

Thanks for the reply.  I have the correct DirectTV streaming app and the Samsung smart TV is about a year old.  My issue is that I cannot sign in to the streaming ap using my online userID and password.  I can stream on my iphone with the direct tv streaming ap using my userID and password, but not on the Samsung TV.  My TV is on the valid list.
