Thanks Pete. But I am still a bit confused. It is about using the Direct TV Stream service at a beach house and away from my home network. I am clear that I can watch on my iPad, for example, when away from my home network, but can I play from my iPad to a TV via HDMI cable or Apple TV? We are not at the beach house enough to justify a full separate service. I’ve read elsewhere that you can not play it over a TV, but that article was over 1.5 years old.
