There are some easy hacks for getting DIRECTV Stream on your LG Smart TV as it is currently not available on LG’s pre-installed app section or app store.
Smart TVs are the new trend in televisions, as they have minimised the need for third-party gadgets as most streaming apps and games can be downloaded directly to your television.
But like smartphones, the availability of the aforementioned is not the same with all brands. As such, LG Smart TVs currently do not have DIRECTV Stream available for direct download.
What is DIRECTV Stream?
With cable television slowly becoming a thing of the past, AT&T TV is following the change in trends as it rebranded and renamed itself to DIRECTV Stream.
This application allows most Android and iOS users to watch live television and streaming video-on-demand content such as movies, series, shows, and documentaries.
How to get DIRECTV on your LG Smart TV
Currently, it is not possible to download DIRECTV directly onto your LG Smart TV, either as the LG content app store or as a pre-installed app.
The reason for this is currently unknown. However, there are hacks to circumvent the matter and have the DIRECTV Stream app on your LG Smart TV.
There are three primary hacks, including:
| Hacks | Details |
| Share the app | Use Screen Share apps, which allows your smart TV to mirror your phone’s screen where DIRECTV is downloaded |
| New models with Airplay | New models of LG Smart TVs have a built-in Apple Airplay feature which can be used to transfer the app from your mobile device to your LG Smart TV |
| Third party devices | For older models without the app store or Airplay feature, you need to purchase a third-party device like Roku, Apple TV 4K, or the Amazon Fire Stick |
