DIRECTV via internet now allowing users to access Movies Anywhere feature
The feature compiles movies rented and purchased from online stores like Apple TV, Prime Video, Verizon Fios, and more in one simple interface.
One of the advantages of having a physical media collection is being able to put all of your DVDs and Blu-rays on a single shelf, so you can watch whatever you want, whenever you want. Digital rentals and purchases can force you to have to search across various stores and apps to see what you’ve purchased where, which can get both confusing and frustrating as you hunt for the title you want. DIRECTV via internet wants to help its customers solve this problem; the service is expanding the availability of the Movies Anywhere feature, which lets viewers compile their digitally owned titles from multiple online stores in a single interface.
Key Details:
- Movies Anywhere works with the Apple TV store, Google Play, Prime Video, and more digital stores.
- Customers need only link their DIRECTV via internet account to Movies Anywhere to get started.
- Previously, only DIRECTV via satellite customers could link their accounts to Movies Anywhere.
The Movies Anywhere feature is not operated by DIRECTV but is a third-party app that can now be linked to DIRECTV via internet accounts. It’s a great way to keep track of movies purchased from the Apple TV store, Google Play, Prime Video, Verizon, and other digital marketplaces all on a single interface.
Movies Anywhere is a free service, and partners with studios like Disney, Sony, Universal, and Warner Bros. to help distribute their films via digital purchase. If you’ve never heard of the service before and want to look into creating your own account, click here.
DIRECTV via internet customers who want to link their account to Movies Anywhere need only create an account there, then go to Settings > Select Manage Digital Retailers > Scroll to DIRECTV > Click Connect. It’s a very simple process, and once you’re done linking your other accounts, you’ll be able to see the movies you’ve bought from each from within the Movies Anywhere interface.
Streaming customers have made no secret of their desire for more aggregation, and services that make it easier to see how to stream their favorite content no matter which individual service has it. Movies Anywhere is exactly this type of service, one that allows viewers to compile their digital movie collections in a single place and browse much more easily.
The ability to link a DIRECTV account to Movies Anywhere was already available to DIRECTV via satellite customers, but now DIRECTV via internet viewers can access it too. This service unlocks all the channels you’ll get with the standard DIRECTV subscription but delivers them through your existing broadband internet connection, so you won’t need a bulky satellite dish to watch!
