Why can't i watch DIRECTV on my computer?

Doesn't matter, doesn't work.

That's it?  You filed a complaint with the FCC that you could not watch directv on your computer and it got fixed?  By whom?  How?

I did get several calls from ATT after the FCC complaint but they came at inconvenient times and I never called back. 

I also found a work-around. If I use a USB wifi device, I can watch from the DTV website. Even after removing the USB wifi device, I can still connect & watch using my laptop's built in wifi device. I think the issue is the way the s/w handles, or more accurately doesn't handle, multiple network adapters. My laptop has wired ethernet, wifi, and s/w VPN & VMWare workstation adapters. I don't think the Cisco s/w handles it well. For some reason, the USB wifi adapter seems to become the default adapter to Cisco. I think it might work if all other network adapters except the one you want to use are set as disabled. 

Trying to watch DTV on my computer and it still doesn't work, two years later... They kept telling me it was going to be fixed. Never has and never will I'm guessing. Google Chrome and Safari are both moving away from Flash Player since Adobe is discontinuing it in 2020 anyways. Even though I have my settings on "ask permission before enabling", since that's the only option now, it doesn't request permission like other websites, so the request never comes up. This is clearly an issue on Directv's end.

Directv, when will you redo your platform? I am leaving you as a customer and filing documentation with the FCC for not providing the service I've been paying extra for. Everyone else should be doing the same.

If anyone from Directv/ATT would actually care to reach out, fix this and pay me back for the services not provided, that would be great.

You don't pay extra to watch on your computer. That is just a feature they include with the services, not some additional charge.

Did you try Internet Explorer? Always worked for me.

You're not sorry! 

If you were sorry, you would have had someone fixing this ONGOING ISSUE months ago! 

Thank You ATT for screwing up a good company!

Can't make this work since there seems to be no way to add my password manager Extension (Bitwarden) to IE 11.  It keeps saying it's already in Edge, that's not where I want it or need it. Close Edge, Open IE11, attempt to add Extension and it opens Edge. (Neither is the default browser)

Don't know if this helps anyone, but on my PC, when I use Chrome, first you have to click the security setting (Padlock in URL bar), and allow flash. Then I get the notice that I need to install flash, which is already installed, but click the link anyway, when the adobe page loads, I just click "Back" to go back to DirecTV without Installing and click the "Watch On Computer" option again and it works.

So It appears it is not seeing flash installed even when it is.

Now, if I go through the process of re-installing flash, it still won't see it installed unless I do the method above.

Apparently DirecTV programmers don't actually test their own scripts.

i still am having same issue, I have been a DTV customer since radio Shack sold DTV... this issue just started when I changed my Router to a Verizon 3100 to upgrade my speed from previous Verizon router. I had the standard Flash issue and the posted solutions worked, now can not get past the down load...just keeps asking for same thing over and over, like DTV does not recognize that the REQUIRED down load has been done...more than frustrating!!!!!!
