I tried to look for this reading through the manuals online for the DirecTV Stream STB, but couldn't find anything. Probably means that it doesn't have it, but I thought I'd ask here. I know my Roku device has a Bandwidth Saver that functions to automatically turn itself off if I haven't...

With DirecTV Satellite and AT&T Internet (copper/DSL Internet ... not fiber or wireless) if you combined those two services on the same bill, then they gave you unlimited Internet. Does that still apply with DirecTV Stream? Can you even combine a DirecTV Stream and AT&T Internet onto one bill...

This is probably true for DirecTV Stream as well. But I thought since DirecTV Stream is marketed more as a DirecTV Satellite replacement with the added benefit of being able to be viewed on a cellular device, it MIGHT stick more to the billing location locals.

It would be either Verizon Home LTE Internet or AT&T Fixed Wireless - currently weighing the pros and cons for each and trying to figure out what might work best at that location. But it would be a "fixed" wireless setting as opposed to a mobile cellular signal (phone), although I don't know if...

I know a lot of times, the GeoIP location of assigned cellular IPs can be way off. You might live in Georgia and your cellular IP would say you live in Dallas. How does this relate to local channels with DirecTV Stream? Are your local channels tied to your billing address? Or are they tied...

Can you purchase second hand Osprey boxes (Is that what the $5/mo or $120 box is that you can get with DirecTV Stream called?) from eBay or other retailers and they work? Or do all of the boxes have to be provisioned by DirecTV Stream? I know satellite DirecTV eventually stopped allowing third...

Well, even with just two, that's still halfsies.

Looks like it's really only two - unless you're using a tablet or something: https://www.directv.com/support/stream/article/KM1354360/ Keep in mind: Only two streaming devices connected to a TV can be accessed out of the home. For example: one DIRECTV STREAM device and one Firestick.

So if I ... spent a lot of time at my folks house, so I used a Roku there to stream DirecTV Stream with my account. And I also had DirecTV Stream on my Roku at my house, this would be OK? And um... if sometimes I "forget" to turn my Roku off at home while at the folks house, so I may TOTALLY...

Probably not any more - not sure if it ever was. Is DirecTV Stream sponsored data if you access it through AT&T - specifically AT&T Wireless, or even more specific AT&T Fixed Wireless. I was thinking at one time - one of the many iterations that "streaming DirecTV" had when AT&T owned it all -...

I would agree with you (and really I do). But my experience with Mediacom and reading other user's experiences in various forums, nothing tells me that there's any incentive for these telecom companies to build out their network. They are all content with just the customers they have now. And...

I agree. But the government isn't actually known for speeding things through. If the FCC mandates such a thing, then MAYBE in 50 years some areas will start to see cable companies running lines in the area.

Sports and News are really the only content examples that require happening "live". I've said before, Sinclair needs to develop their own RSN app - they already have some app development experience with their Stirr app - and offer that as an OTT package to customers that don't want to subscribe...

Or pay a higher price. Folks that have no access to broadband can't depend on VOD services like Hulu and NetFlix - they still depend on DirecTV for any form of TV, and they will be forced to pay whatever price DirecTV says they have to pay. That's why getting broadband to those under served...

I would bet 5G antennas on utility poles is ultimately what 5G will come to serve. More for fixed wireless in this capacity. Cable and telecoms won't have to run lines to the house and bury them or anything like that. Simply run a line to the antenna on the utility pole and then ship the...

But those areas already have broadband - they already have cable or fiber - and the telecom people just continue to pour money into those areas. Why? Are they that allergic to running new cable to areas it's never been run before? Millimeter wavelengths in 5G won't work in rural areas. You...

I would agree that if Starlink and/or others (OneWeb is another - although they are far behind Starlink in terms of having a useful product) really take off and show they are sustainable - then satellite TV is probably dead - at least for residential users. I would also agree that fiber is...

If I were them, this is probably what I'd do. DirecTV (and Dish) currently have a duopoly on a certain segment of the population... those that don't have access to cable or high speed Internet. If you live in the middle of no where and want ESPN, then you either pay DirecTV (or Dish) their...

Ha! And everyone thinks switching to YouTube TV or Hulu TV would be cheaper ... Oh wait! ... you mean DirecTV can keep raising their prices? /s

I remember when the space shuttle first launched and it had all of these fancy new advanced computers. It wasn't long before astronauts were packing laptops to use on the shuttle, because the laptps were faster than the computer systems integrated into the shuttle, but it was too expensive to...

I would disagree with this... although that doesn't mean that I'm right. I have a Smart TV ... everyone does ... the only time I used any of the apps on the TV itself was when I first turned the TV on and wanted to see what "cool" apps were on the TV. But never really used any of them, and now...

I'm wondering if AT&T shouldn't just focus on the streaming box, try to compete with Roku. With more and more streaming options, I think there's definitely some improvements that could be had with a streaming box. A remote with numbers may start becoming more beneficial with more streaming...

Obviously they're not going to do that. But they don't care who your Internet is with. If you've got Comcast or Mediacom, they don't care that you'll run up against monthly data allowances streaming this. That's something for the consumer to figure out. While they may not necessarily stop...

On a new install, are there any restrictions as to where DirecTV can mount the dish? I have an old post where an old C-Band (big dish) satellite was at. That dish isn't there, but the post still is. I'm not sure how much concrete it was set in, but it had to hold up one of those big dishes...
