If you’re looking for a new way to watch live TV, you can now stream DirecTV on a Meta Quest VR headset. The arrival of the app makes DirecTV the first MVPD to launch on the popular virtual reality platform.
Key Takeaways
- DirecTV is now the first MVPD with a dedicated app on Meta Quest headsets.
- Paid and free users can stream live TV in a virtual theater‑style environment, offering a more immersive way to watch movies, sports and more.
- The new app is available to download on supported headsets, including Meta Quest 3 and 3S, Quest 2 and Quest Pro.
DirecTV is already available on a wide variety of devices, including smart TVs, streaming players, and mobile devices. With Meta Quest officially supported as well, virtual reality headsets can now be added to that list.
The DirecTV Meta Quest app is available to download via the Meta Horizon Store or Meta Horizon TV, and is compatible with Meta Quest 3 and 3S, Quest 2 and Quest Pro.
After downloading and installing the app, existing DirecTV users will be able to sign in with their account details and start streaming live TV or content from their library.
As this is a Meta Quest app, DirecTV users will be able to take advantage of a virtual viewing space, including a large, theater-like display, making it ideal for watching movies and live sports in more of an immersive way.
For those that don’t have a live TV package through DirecTV, and not looking to pay for one, it is worth keeping in mind that DirecTV offers a free experience through its FAST-based MyFree DirecTV service.
As MyFree DirecTV is accessible through the same app as DirecTV’s paid Signature Packages and Genre Packs, Meta Quest users can use the new app to consume any of the free content, and without signing up for a live TV package.
