OVERVIEW
The DIRECTV STREAM pendant is a game-changing, proprietary “Over-the-Top” (OTT) device that delivers video and integrated content to your TV over the Internet. It enables you to watch online videos, listen to music, use thousands of third-party apps, and play games—all on your TV.
It comes preloaded with some Google apps, but thousands of others are available at the Google Play Store. The DIRECTV STREAM pendant is used on its own as a standalone device (one per TV) so you don’t need any other DIRECTV STREAM set-top boxes or services. (It’s not compatible with any DIRECTV set-top boxes or existing Genie® Servers.) It comes with a remote control offering many features, including the convenience of voice control.
