Hey there, twmissmt,
Dec 27, 2018 DirecTV Now devices DirecTV Now doesn’t require a set-top box, but you’ll still need a streaming device to watch. While it doesn’t currently support any gaming systems the company has. DirecTV Now supports Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, along with Amazon’s Fire TV and Fire Stick, and desktop web browsers. Android devices are supported, too, and Chromecast support is coming next year.
Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. If I understand your post, you're having some trouble getting the DirectTV app to work on your Mac. I'm happy to provide you with some information.
After reviewing DirectTV's instructions here: Watch DIRECTV on Your Computer - DIRECTV Support, it looks like you do not need a special app if you have OS X 10.8 Yosemite or later. Instead, DirectTV instructs you to visit their website and sign in with your DirectTV username and password: Stream TV & Movies Online + On Demand | DIRECTV.
