Key Takeaways
- With the launch of the DirecTV app on LG smart TVs, DirecTV has now filled another device support gap.

DirecTV has been around for a long time, and while its list of supported devices is comprehensive, there are still some gaps. Up until today, LG‘s webOS was one of the more notably platform gaps.
With the DirecTV app now available on LG smart TVs, that gap has been filled, offering DirecTV customers another way to access their live TV streaming package.
“We’re committed to making DirecTV available on the devices consumers already use, and connected LG Smart TVs are an important part of that vision,” said Vikash Sharma, Head of Product at DirecTV.
The DirecTV app is now available on 2021 and newer LG Smart TVs running webOS 6.0 or higher.
The launch of the app also now means LG smart TV users have gained another option for streaming live TV channels, and without the need for an additional device like a streaming player.
“We’re excited to deepen our alliance with DirecTV and bring another great service to LG’s webOS Smart TVs,” said Matthew Durgin, VP of LG content and services at LG Electronics. “With the addition of DirecTV’s acclaimed live streaming TV experience, we’re enhancing our LG Smart TV experience and furthering our commitment to delivering exceptional value to our customers without the need for a set-top box.”
For LG smart TV users now considering giving DirecTV a try, the live TV service offers a variety of Signature Packages to choose from, as well as a selection of skinnier Genre Packs.
In addition to these paid options, DirecTV also offers MyFree DirecTV – a free streaming service packed with a wide selection of FAST channels.
The MyFree DirecTV service is also now accessible on LG smart TVs through the same DirecTV app.
“Making DirecTV available as a native app on LG TVs gives customers more choice and flexibility in how they enjoy our full lineup—across MyFree DirecTV, Genre and Signature Packs, and TV Everywhere for satellite—through a more customized and personalized experience,” added Sharma.
