Make sure to keep reading this guide until the end if you don’t want to miss any helpful information. In this article, I am going to share with you everything related to getting local channels. That’s why I then try to figure this out on my own and after spending several hours searching for this on the internet and by trying myself I finally understand this.

Later I searched on the internet if is there any way but all I get was some unuseful content and guides that don’t explain anything. Even though when I purchase this streaming device for the first time I was also wondering about this. Have you just purchased a FireTV device recently but now you are searching for a way to get local channels on Firestick? This is the same question that a lot of people are already asking on the internet. This is a completely separate service from DirecTV (satellite).Last Updated on 1 month by Amelia Johansson Went from DIRECTV NOW to AT&T TV NOW and now with the new co-owner it just became DIRECTV STREAM. It has gone through a couple rebrands so has caused some confusion. There is a separate streaming-only service, which does go on devices like Firestick. They will authorize some content because of your TV provider subscription, but it is limited content.

Now there are some individual channels that have their own app that is allowed to be on a streaming device. If you want DirecTV on another TV then you pay the $7 monthly for it being authorized and get a receiver for it. They each use their own DirecTV app is forbidden from being on Firestick or any other streaming device. Just like switching to a game console or DVR player. So you need to change your TV's INPUT (some call it SOURCE) from one to the other as needed. And your Firestick each connect to a separate HDMI port on you TV.
