AT&T‘s Internet-streaming live TV service will soon be exclusive to the Chrome browser, assuming you prefer to stream on your laptop or desktop. Users are reporting seeing a message when attempting to stream on PC that advises them to download and install Google Chrome, saying it is necessary in order to get the ‘best streaming experience.' You have until the end of this month to make the transition.
Cannot Watch Directv On My Computer
I am a new customer and have no issues streaming to a mobile device like an Android phone. However, whenever I try to stream on my windows 10 PC, it tells me to load the DirectTV player which I do. Then I close the browser, I reopen the browser, I reselect the show to watch online from directv.com and it says 'Loading.' , but it never gets any further. Restart your computer.

If you subscribe to DirecTV NOW and you log into your account on a computer's browser, you'll be greeted with a message that says, in part, ‘DirecTV NOW will live exclusively on Google Chrome when accessed via your computer.' The notice goes on to explain that the service will drop its support for Internet Explorer and Safari ‘after June.'
This change only affects those who try to watch the service from a desktop browser; the service is viewable via a dedicated app when watching from a smartphone or tablet. Presumably once the support is dropped, those who try to access the service using Explorer or Safari will be directed to download Chrome before getting access to the video content.

The company has not revealed why it is making this change — except to say that Chrome will in some way provide the best viewing experience — and it hasn't yet updated any of its support pages to indicate the upcoming change, which is a bit odd. Regardless, you have about three weeks left to make the transition…either to Chrome or to a different OTT video service. Competing products include PlayStation Vue, Sling TV, and Hulu Live TV.

Cannot Watch Directv On Computer

Story Timeline
One of the best parts of being of a DIRECTV subscriber is access to the latest, cutting-edge technology. A good example of that is their DIRECTV2PC system, which allows you to simultaneously watch everything DIRECTV has to offer right on your PC. Here's how it works:
1) Hook up your receiver
To get started, simply connect your DIRECTV Plus HD DVR to the internet (via an ethernet connection on the back of your receiver). If you have a wireless network, it's even easier – sync the receiver to your network and you're done.
Equipment-wise, DIRECTV2PC needs the DIRECTV Plus (HD or regular) receiver to seamlessly communicate with your computer. What can you do in animal crossing pocket camp. Other DVRs aren't currently DIRECTV2PC-compatible so let your sales agent know you're interested and they'll set you up with the best DIRECTV Plus DVR package available.
2) Install the application on your computer
The second and final step is to install the DIRECTV2PC program on your computer. It's a pretty quick install and doesn't take up much hard drive space. Be sure to create a shortcut during installation so it's always just one-click away.
Now that you're setup, you'll be able to do the following on your PC…
Watch recorded programming
While you normally watch live shows on your TV, you'll now be able to access your entire DVR library from your computer. DIRECTV2PC uses the exact same interface as your TV so there's no annoying learning curve or hunting after key features. During playback, there's also no interference or impact on your regular TV, so they're truly independent.
View programs in HD
With DIRECTV's setup, there's absolutely no loss in picture quality in the PC transfer. Any show that was recorded in 1080p HD will playback at the same frame rate and resolution on your PC (of course, assuming your computer's monitor supports it). It's also pretty cool to be able to watch TV as you work (not recommended, but it is possible :)).
Navigate using the same on-screen guide
As previously mentioned, the DIRECTV2PC program installs a mirror of your TV's on-screen guide and interface. Along with synchronization, that was probably the single biggest technological hurdle for DIRECTV. Other TV providers have tried to give their customers PC access in the past, but every one I've used forces a completely new interface on you or dramatically strips down the regular one.
Conclusion
DIRECTV2PC gives you an unparalleled amount of PC flexibility. Bigger households get an extra PC 'viewing station' that's open 24/7. If you're a power user constantly multitasking (and don't need another receiver), it's probably right up your alley. I've setup DIRECTV2PC more than a few times (for friends, family, etc.) and haven't heard a single negative comment, even after months of use. It's a slick little feature and, if you're on the PC alot, a good reason to stay or switch to DIRECTV.
