Try these options first to fix many picture and sound issues with the DIRECTV App:

• Confirm your TV is compatible with the DIRECTV App.
• Close and reopen the DIRECTV App.
• Check your TV for software updates.
• Uninstall and then reinstall the DIRECTV App.
• Restart your TV.
• Make sure your TV is connected to your home network. On your TV, select Settings >, Network. Choose Network Status. You’ll see images of your TV, router, and internet as they connect in that order. Look for 3 dots between the images to show you’re connected to confirm connection. See an X? You’ve lost your connection.

Important: When you set up a DIRECTV STREAM device at home, that location becomes the residential, non-mobile internet network associated with your device. This is called your home Wi-Fi network. Accessing the DIRECTV App on your Samsung TV is also limited to your home Wi-Fi network. You can change your home Wi-Fi network up to 4 times within a 12-month period by relocating your DIRECTV STREAM device.

Software updates often occur automatically. To check your TV software manually:

1. Press Home on your TV remote.
2. Scroll right to Settings and select Support.
3. Choose Software Update.
4. Select Update Now.
