DIRECTV streaming and satellite subscribers can now add the Apple TV streaming app to their accounts for $12.99 a month.

Apple TV offers a mix of critically-acclaimed original TV shows and exclusive live sports (MLB, MLS, F1).

DIRECTV customers can now stream Apple TV on DIRECTV Gemini devices, Apple devices, smart TVs, gaming consoles, or sticks with the $12.99 a month subscription.

How to Add Apple TV to Your DIRECTV Account
DIRECTV subscribers can go to their DIRECTV Account page to sign up for Apple TV and add it to their account. If you already have Apple TV, you can link your existing Apple TV account to your DIRECTV bill. The TV provider will then send an e-mail with instructions on how to activate the account.

How to Watch Apple TV On DIRECTV
DIRECTV streaming customers can launch Apple TV from channel 199 or the Apps tab. DIRECTV satellite customers can launch the streaming service by pressing the Home button on their remote control and scroll to Apps.

What’s On Apple TV?
Apple TV is the home of such prestige TV shows as Severance, Ted Lasso, Your Friends & Neighbors (star Jon Hamm pictured), Pluribus and Silo. The service will also be the exclusive carrier of F1 races this year; doubleheader MLB games starting in April; and MLS Soccer.
