What DirecTV Stream actually is
DirecTV Stream is the streaming spin-off of the satellite service, and it inherited the carriage deals that matter most to sports households: regional sports networks. If your team's games live on an RSN, this is often the only mainstream service that carries them.
It is also the most generous on screens — unlimited simultaneous streams on your own home network, which no competitor matches.
