Channel Issues & Questions

[rosita]

I already have a Roku express and I can’t search app directvgo, please help me. My friend have an Apple TV and in it is available Directvgo, so in Roku I thought is available too.

From Directv Ecuador:

"Contract any of our Postpaid or Prepaid plans.

You get DIRECTV GO for free, included in your monthly bill or prepaid recharge.

You access content by streaming and on demand from your Apple devices (iPhone, iPad and Apple TV), Android (phones, tablets and Android TV), Samsung Smart TV and Amazon Fire TV."

Note, there is no mention of Roku.  Contact Directv and tell them you want to have a Roku version of Directv Go.

No there isn't. It is strange because in other countries as Chile, Peru or Mexico is available through Roku but not Ecuador. Who has to add the channel¡? Roku or Direct Tv?

The same for HBO or Dinsey+. We only have Netflix available... Roku is getting behind the competition.

Thanks for the post.

As @makaiguy mentioned, channel availability/access on Roku devices will vary from region to region. A Roku device will work in any location, however, channels may not be available on your device in that location, based on each channel provider's discretion. For more information, you'd want to contact any specific channel/service provider to inquire further about whether they offer their channel/service on the Roku platform in your region. 

Thanks,
