I'm resurrecting my own thread looking for the same info again. I don't remember what I did 2 years ago - probably installed a wireless box?

Current client wants TV on a patio where there is no wiring other than power. Wifi is strong. Does DirecTv have an app similar to Xfinity that eliminates the need for a box? I found this info about "DirecTv Stream" with a Samsung TV: [Link: directv.com]
Does this work with a Genie system or is "DirecTv Stream" a completely different system?
