The DirecTV platform allows you to control a [DirecTV](https://www.directv.com) receiver and its client devices.
### Requirements
For proper integration with Home Assistant, your DirecTV device settings should allow "External Access".
This is done via series of settings found via "Menu > Settings & Help > Settings > Whole Home > External Device":
- External Access: Allow
- Current Program: Allow
- Recordings: Allow
### Configuration
Go to the integrations page in your configuration and click on new integration -> DirecTV.
If your DirecTV device is on, it has likely been discovered already and you just have to confirm the detected device.
### YAML Configuration
Manual configuration of your DirecTV device is also possible, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
directv:
- host: IP_ADDRESS
```
{% configuration %}
host:
description: "The hostname or IP of the DirecTV receiver, e.g., `192.168.0.10`."
required: true
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
## Services
