It also plays a central part in other systems and communication standards, such as near field communication. Like Bluetooth, you can use it to send files, share your screen with other devices, play games directly, share your internet connection, and more.
This allows for a seamless (yet secure) connection between the devices. WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is then used to authenticate, with a push button or PIN code used to establish a connection. WiFi Direct works by enabling a software-generated access point on the host device, creating a temporary WiFi network in the process. You don’t need an existing WiFi network to connect to, as the connection is made directly between two devices. WiFi Direct is a standard that allows the use of WiFi radio frequencies (typically 2.4GHz and 5GHz) to make direct, peer-to-peer connections with other devices. There are plenty of devices that support WiFi Direct (under various names), so if you want to know more about WiFi Direct in Windows 10, here’s what you’ll need to know. No problems watching using the Directv app on iOS (phone or iPAD).ĭoes Directv support watching via a Mac running OSX, and if so, are there decent instructions that work anywhere?Īnnoying that Directv appears to not support video streaming on a Mac by providing old software with an expired certificate and that old software required a now-deprecated plugin (Flash) from Adobe and absolutely NO HELP on their website other than 'install the player".Īll this makes me understand how Directv lost 900,000 customers in Q1 of 2020 (couldn't find more recent numbers, but based on the service level and the fact AT&T now has the Directv group for sale, it's probably increasing).Windows 10 has direct WiFi Direct support, but if you’re planning on using it, you’ll need to know what it’s good for (and whether it’s safe to use it or not). This has worked in the past on Chrome, but I recently un-installed Flash because Adobe is discontinuing support on 12/31/20. I checked the certificate on the installer and it expired 5/2020.
Tried on the latest Chrome, Firefox and SafariĮach time I log in, select "watch online" and click on the show the message says tells "Install the Directv player" (from Synaguard media), I run the default install (no options other than default available) and click "watch now" and it tells me to "Install the Directv player" - an endless loop of downloads and nothing. Trying to watch DirecTV on MacBook but NO LUCK.
