Directv now review Quick look at the DirecTV now package as a viable cord cutting option after 6 months of usage. Pros Use with your att data on the go No ad.
So I read a few things about this before I actually tried it. I'd seen may people say that the location services were required and so no DirecTV Now streaming was possible on Apple TV via smart DNS. This is normally bad, not because its a deal breaker, but because for some people it just creates more hassle than its worth. But it thought, i'll give it a go as there are always workarounds. I had a plan too.
Log into your US App Store Account
Download the DIRECTV App Enjoy thousands of movies and shows with the DIRECTV App, including new releases on DIRECTV CINEMA ® and premium channels like HBO ®, Cinemax ®, SHOWTIME ®, and more. Get the app free from the App Store or Google Play to get started. Talked to several retail spots and an apple guy. The only way I could do it was to use an Apple TV. Then download the DirecTV app onto the Apple TV. There was no way to cast it otherwise. You can get a firestick or other brand but you'll have to go through another device for it to work. DirecTV Now is the only live streaming service offering an Apple TV unit and service in a bundled offer. Other services, including DirecTV Now, offer Roku devices. DirecTV Now launched in November 2016 using the Apple TV app with an entry-level package price of $35 per month for over 60 channels. Tags: Apple, apple tv, apple tv 4k, AT&T.
Format memory stick for mac and pc. So I booted up my Apple TV, signed into my US iTunes store account.
Download DirecTV for Apple TV
I went to the App Store and downloaded DirecTV Now from the most popular chart.
Set up your Smart DNS Service
Settings > Network > DNS settings I had already set up a Smart DNS service on the device which i use for Hotstar. Expecting an error I restarted the Apple TV and then opened the DirecTV Now app. I signed in and et voila. It came straight on.
Getting around location services on Apple TV
Lets say I did get an error. Location services does a number of things, all of which can be gotten around. https://ameblo.jp/barvateg-zawg/entry-12649628055.html. 1) it checks the IP origination address 2) checks your geographic location 3) checks the time (maybe, I'm not sure! but some browser apps do this)
- The smart DNS gets passed the IP address
- Changing your box region gets past the geographic restriction
- Changing the time from auto to the time of the region you want gets past the time restriction
So, even if the Apple TV did enforce the location services then you can still access this or any other service. The main thing to bear in mind is if you have a number of apps that have location services enabled from different regions, then you may have to change the region on your box regularly. Facebook chat standalone. Its rare that region restrictions are heavily enforced. the only app on iOS that maxes this option out is the taiwanese Eleven Sports app that requires region change. So which DNS service lets you Watch DirecTV Now on Apple TV SmartDNSProxy is the service I used and I streamed a 2 hour film flawlessly (it was A Christmas Carol since you asked).
You may find other DNS services works as well since DNS normally works for most services where there is infrastructure and all these services support USA streaming services.
