Frequently Asked Questions About DIRECTV
Does DIRECTV offer internet service?
No. DIRECTV provides streaming TV service only through the DIRECTV app and Gemini streaming device. To get online, you'll need to pair DIRECTV with a separate internet provider.
Is DIRECTV Satellite or DIRECTV Streaming the better choice?
That comes down to your home setup. If your internet connection is spotty or you'd rather keep TV on its own dedicated line, satellite is the safer bet. If you've already got solid home internet, streaming skips the dish and the install entirely. Either way, you're choosing between delivery methods, not packages. The channel lineups and pricing are the same.
Are local channels included with DIRECTV?
Yes. Local channels are included on DIRECTV streaming plans at no extra cost, though some local channels aren't available in select markets.
How long is DIRECTV's price guarantee?
DIRECTV's Entertainment plan includes a 2-year price guarantee, taxes and fees excluded.
Do I need special equipment for DIRECTV Streaming?
Yes, DIRECTV Streaming requires the Gemini device, an internet-connected streaming box, for an additional $10/mo. It's self-setup, with no technician visit required.
