DIRECTV

DIRECTV (specifically its streaming service, previously known as DIRECTV STREAM) is a highly premium, massively comprehensive live television platform explicitly designed to completely mirror the massive channel lineups of traditional satellite and cable television. It completely removes the need for complex satellite dish installations, delivering hundreds of high-definition broadcast channels directly over an internet connection to smart TVs and custom set-top boxes. The platform is globally renowned as the absolute premier destination for fiercely dedicated sports fans. It is one of the only digital streaming services to successfully negotiate massive broadcasting rights with nearly every Regional Sports Network (RSN) across the United States. This guarantees that local fans can watch their hometown baseball, basketball, and hockey teams without facing massive, highly restrictive blackout regulations. Operating on a heavily tiered, premium subscription model, DIRECTV offers a highly robust, unlimited cloud DVR and allows for unlimited simultaneous streams on a home network. By providing absolute, uncompromising access to massive local and regional broadcasting, it remains a heavily dominant force in premium live television streaming.
