allowing access to services anywhere, anytime, and on any compatible device

I. OVERVIEW
The DIRECTV STREAM device 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 device 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.

or mounted to a wall by attaching a cable tie to the recess in the

• The remote uses two-way communication to the DIRECTV STREAM device.
• RF mode eliminates the need for the remote and the paired devices to be in line of sight to each other.
•The RC82V Remote Control has a directional pad. Basic operations and functions can be made by pressing the
direction, then pressing ok.
•Once paired, voice recognition is also available with the RC82V Remote Control so you can use voice search.
