Worked! Just wish I could stream ALL channels though, especially for the fact that I want to be able to stream my "moved" channels during storms, and not just my true locals via OTA.
I tried that on my Genie, my client, I Googled it, and can't seem to find what your talking about. Where do I go, and what exactly do I do? Because I'm confused.
You dont need to do that anymore, and it may have been removed from the software. You should just be able to link the app and go. You can do it in the settings part of the DirecTV app. There was an update on the 7th in the apple store for the DirecTV app. If you can't see it you can always delete the app and reinstall it. I initially was getting the same message on mine but a delete and reinstall of the app corrected it.
This is all new to me so I am not sure how things worked in the past and how they should work now. My locals stream in SD for sure..Other national channels seem to be HD. My DVR seems to to me mixed at this point. I did see on some FAQ page on ATT/Directv that it did say streaming may be SD so take it for what its worth I guess.
It's new to everyone except a few special people who got it work before the 8th. I am not sure what a Genie Go would let you do.
Still works great for me. All HD channels, including locals are coming in clear over my AT&T LTE connection on my iPhone 6s Plus.
Interesting. I have the same set up as you and my locals are definitely compressed quite a bit compared to national networks. Do you know if DirecTV.com is supposed to show my DVR list like the iPhone app does or can the DVR list only be viewed in the genie go app on my Mac?

So should I be able to view my DVR playlist on my Mac through DirecTV's website

OK. That's what I figured. Other than the compression on my locals, things seem to be running smoothly for me. The app on both my iPhone and iPad are very responsive and have not crashed.

So does this take up a tuner when you are streaming a channel that wasn't on the app before (like an sd only channel or local)? Is it streaming from directv servers or your STB? Also if you watch something on the playlist, does that take up one of the 3 clients the genie can stream to?
Hold on now.....What is your upload speed, download speeds.....This has alot going on, it aint just magic.
It is 25/5. If this is all based on Internet, why bother with it? Why do they talk about streaming for free on AT&T when it only works well with wifi? Why do the cell companies tout how fast they are when all you get is blurry SD? I wish we could opt-out of streaming, to me, it's such a waste of time, money, and effort.
