You need to go to one of their social media pages to send them a PM, If they send you a PM/DM a box with lines in appears at the top of this page near the bell icon.

Please try again to log in to the account but make sure you’re logged out, including clearing any TV Provider or single sign-on settings, uninstall then reinstall the app and try again. Let us know how it goes. Daniela, DIRECTV Community Specialist

Hi Dylan,  I am still having the same issue.  Communicating with a couple people in PM but haven't heard back from anyone in a couple days.

Was this issue resolved? I'm having the exact same problem: cannot login on my Android TV device (NVIDIA Shield), but can login on other devices (Roku, browser).

It was resolved as a DirecTV rep updated something on my account that fixed the issue permanently
