DirecTV Stream subscribers can access a variety of network apps and websites using their live TV account details. This is made possible through TV Everywhere support and provides subscribers with an opportunity to watch even more movies, shows and additional content from their favorite networks and channels.
TV Everywhere is not a feature that’s exclusive to DirecTV Stream. While most live TV services do tend to offer TV Everywhere support, the level of support can vary hugely between services.
Furthermore, services that do offer TV Everywhere support as a subscription benefit don’t always offer support for every network and channel included with their live TV plans. Although this is also the case with DirecTV Stream, this is one of the better TV Everywhere supported live TV services.

The list above includes all of the network apps and websites that can currently be accessed using an existing DirecTV Stream subscription. However, the exact apps and websites that an individual subscriber can access will be limited to the networks included in their live TV package.
In other words, if you have access to any of the networks listed above with your current DirecTV Stream live TV plan then you should also be able to access the associated apps or websites for those networks as well.
The benefits of TV Everywhere support
TV Everywhere support is a feature that’s worth being aware of as it offers DirecTV Stream subscribers another way to access network channels and content. In some cases, using a network app or website can also unlock access to additional content that isn’t available through the DirecTV app and website.
As an example, while DirecTV’s Paramount+ with Showtime add-on includes access to the Paramount+ with Showtime linear channel and select on-demand content, logging in to the Paramount+ app or Paramount+ website with a DirecTV Stream login unlocks access to the entire Paramount+ library, including all of the Showtime content.
Another benefit of TV Everywhere support is the access to additional streams. While DirecTV Stream allows subscribers to watch on up to 20 compatible devices at the same time, that’s only when connected to the home network. If watching on the go and away from home, DirecTV Stream allows subscribers to stream on a maximum of three devices at the same time. Using TV Everywhere network apps and websites doesn’t count towards these limits, so it doesn’t matter how many streams a customer is limited to with their live TV plan.
Similarly, TV Everywhere support can often prove useful when problems, like outages, affect a live TV service, offering subscribers another way to access their favorite networks when DirecTV Stream is encountering an issue.
