[Electronics-Talk] AT&T DirecTV Streaming app

[Jim Portillo]

Thanks, Liz. Good to know about these options.

I have a Samsung smart TV that actually has its own little screen reader. It generally works OK; although, the screen reader voice is annoying at times. I also have the Apple TV unit hooked up to it, which gives me more options and alternative accessibility.

I’d like to know or see how the app works on the TV itself, so I can use the remote as I would just a regular system, changing channels and entering in numbers to get to certain channels rather than battling with other ways.

We’ll see if this works.

Jim

Hello Jim and others,

I use three versions of the Directv Stream app. I have a box I received from AT&T that plugs into the HDMI port on my tv. It runs on the Android platform, and it includes apps like the Directv stream and the play store.

Once you get accessibility turned on the Talk Back screen reader works well for navigating the Directv Stream app. You can set up cloud DVR recordings, access the guide and so forth.

I also have the app for my iPhone, but it uses direct touch, and I'm still getting the hang of how to use that feature.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the Directv app works on the Amazon Fire stick as well with VoiceView.

Howdy,

Once again, I’m looking for the best possible streaming app that will provide me with the most channels for the best price. I’m wondering if anyone has used the DirecTV streaming app with either an iDevice, an Apple TV, or a Smart TV with something else? I just want to know if anyone has found it accessible enough to try. This won’t come with a promotion. 😊 

Thanks for any information.

Jim
