I had Direct TV when they were going door to door selling their systems back in Cape Cod and was a customer for quite a number of years.
They were great once upon a time......but somewhere along the way their service just turned to crap. When I moved I just cut them off and never looked back.
So there is one other thing....if you rent and your landlord is willing to write a letter that Direct TV is not available in your area....they will override all this and let you use the streaming app.
