Use the DIRECTV Tablet app

Use the DIRECTV Tablet app on an iOS^® or Android^® tablet to control your networked receivers. The app lets you interact directly with the DIRECTV guides and menus.

Features:

• Allows an employee at your bar or restaurant to control multiple receivers from a single device.
• Removes the need to use remote controls to control the receivers.
• Allows you to view current and upcoming sports schedules.
• Lets you name your receivers so you can identify them quickly.
• Lets you group receivers and change multiple TVs at once. (Available only for Android at this time.)

Register the app

1. Go to directv.com/register to create a commercial login.
2. In the Enter your last name field, enter your business name exactly as it appears on your DIRECTV account. Then enter your email address and create a password. You’ll use this information to activate the DIRECTV Tablet app.

Note: Make sure to enter the business name exactly as it appears on the DIRECTV account. If there’s an extra space, missing character, or misspelled name, you won’t be able to resister the app. For example, if you enter “Good Eating, LLC” when registering and the DIRECTV account doesn't include the comma in the name, the registration will not be accepted.
