Original title: DirecTv App

I have a DirecTV account that has an app for my phone and another tablet that I own that allows me to watch and control live TV from both devices. There is no such app for the surface yet and when I go to DirecTV's website to view programming it is not allowed on the surface, it warns that I must use the store but it don't exist on the store. Any hope for TV provider apps for the surface or is this something Microsoft is intentionally stopping? I noticed there is nothing for brighthouse, Comcast, timer warner etc. as well.

    Yes with contract for two years. You pay every month the package you want.

    he didn't ask you, he asked John (which wrote his post 3 years ago). your answer does not apply to his question.

    your talk about "if you have windows 10" also doesn't apply, because this thread is for Windows RT devices, which cannot get Windows 10.

    If you have a full Windows 10 on tablet 💻 you don't need App for DIRECTV. Go online at www.directv.com and signed in and you are ready to watch DIRECTV.

    Hi Popa,

    Brighthouse, Comcast, etc. are third party vendors. As I mentioned earlier “The third party Windows 8 apps are developed by the respective vendors of the software.” If you are not able to find their app in Windows Store, you need to contact their support site in order to check if app is available for Windows 8 or not.

    There are many third party app in Windows Store which you can use to watch live TV on Windows 8. For example check these links:

    Thanks and regards
