After signing up for Netflix through DIRECTV, follow the steps in your activation email. This will link your existing Netflix account to DIRECTV.

If you don’t know the email address you used to sign up for Netflix or believe you may have mistyped it, check to see if you are signed into Netflix on the device you used to sign up. If so, you can locate and update your account information. If you need additional support, contact Netflix customer service.
If you accidentally connect the wrong account to your package, please contact Netflix customer service and provide the email address for the Netflix account that is incorrectly linked.
Check to see if you’re still signed in on the device you used to link an account, as you may be able to access your account details.
If you’re not still signed in, sign in to your DIRECTV account and select Account Overview > Manage my TV Package. Scroll down to Add-ons and offers, find Netflix, and select Account Management > Go to Netflix to be redirected to a Netflix sign-in page with your email address pre-populated. From here you can sign in to your Netflix account and update your email address as needed.
