DirecTV Satellite vs Stream vs Dish?

DTV does have a 4K wireless mini client the C71WK. DTV sat and DTV via the internet AKA DTV streaming are two separate services so of course they have different channel packages.  There is no renewal for DTV sat service when the contract expires you are month to month.

Hey shannon02 why has none of the sales rep informed me of this? 

I currently have Genie 2 HS17-500 and 4 C61W-400 receivers when I signed up back in Oct 2020.

Not a single sales rep told me about the wireless 4K receivers at all.  

Don't think the C71WK was out in 2020 I think it was released in late 2022 or early 2023

Yeah it was not but I spoke with customer rep about options just this year. So will have to call back to talk to them about the wireless upgrade option.

There is no 4K wireless upgrade, if you have a 2 yr good standing upgrade coming you can replace one C61K with the C71WK for free but it may require a new 2yr contract.  I think the C71WK are $149 each without the free upgrade.

I'm a satellite only customer (a couple of H24's). I thought I would be able to stream 4K over the internet (Apple TV, Fire Stick etc.) based on what my Premier account said but we can't see the 4K channels in the Direct Stream guide.

I was told via a support rep today that I'd need to add a 4K receiver to be able to get 4K over the internet.

At a minimum, what receiver equipment would I need to add to make this happen?

DTV sat and DTV via the internet AKA DTV streaming are separate services so their guide doesn't show DTV sat 4K channels. Not sure if DTV Sat streams their 4K channels to the app.

I don't believe the DIRECTV app (when used with DIRECTV SATELLITE credentials) shows 4K channels, although it may have 4K On Demand content (not entirely sure).

Thanks for all the responses!

When I first signed into DirecTV Stream last week on my account. The 4K channels DID show up, 104, 106 etc. on both the web, the mobile app on iOS/Android and in 4K TV's on Amazon Fire Stick 4K's. And I watched part of a basketball game on 104 in 4K. Then on Super Bowl Sunday those channels slowly disappeared, starting with 105. Now they don't show up at all.

I figure the billing system and the fact that I DO NOT have a 4K satellite receiver, finally caught up with the guide servers and so Direct Stream no longer presents those to me. Makes sense.

Now I have to figure out whether it's worth the extra $ to get a 4K satellite box. :)

DIRECTV STREAM is a separate service from DIRECTV SATELLITE. You are referring to the complementary streaming that comes with your DIRECTV SATELLITE service which is a secondary perk, if you will.
