The company "DirecTV" announced today the launch of a new app for "LG Smart TV" owners, allowing users to move away from traditional set-top boxes. This is a significant step in the development of streaming services, as users can now access a wide range of content directly from their television.
The app is available on "LG Smart TVs" released since 2021, provided they run on the webOS 6.0 operating system or newer. It can be downloaded through the "LG Channel Store," making the integration process even easier for users.
What does the new app offer?
With the new "DirecTV" app, you will gain access to a full spectrum of entertainment options, including:
- "Signature TV" subscription plans
- "Genre Packs," such as sports, movies, and kids
- Free content through the "MyFree DirecTV" service, which offers over 100 free ad-supported channels
Convenience for sports fans
The launch of the app is timely, right in the middle of the sports season, when users can track NFL, NBA, NHL matches and many other events. "DirecTV" emphasizes that with the new app, users will be able to watch all important competitions and news without leaving their favorite programs.
Enhanced personalization features, such as "Your TV carousel," allow for quick access to favorite teams and channels while also providing recommendations based on viewed programs.
A glimpse into the future
With the launch of this app, "DirecTV" takes another step towards the disappearance of traditional cable boxes. According to Vikash Sharma, head of products at "DirecTV," this move aligns with the company's commitment to making its services more accessible and convenient for consumers. "We strive to make 'DirecTV' available on devices that consumers are already using," he noted.
This app is also available on other platforms such as "Samsung," "Roku," and "Amazon Fire TV," highlighting the growing popularity of streaming services.
