DIRECTV Bulk Stream
Transform your property’s entertainment with hassle-free device-friendly TV that residents love.
DIRECTV Bulk Stream delivers a full-featured TV experience over the internet—no boxes, dishes, or contracts required. Residents can stream live TV and on-demand content on their own devices, while properties enjoy simplified setup, reliable performance, and cost-effective bulk pricing. It’s modern entertainment made easy, built for today’s connected communities.
When you choose a bulk streaming solution like DIRECTV for multifamily, you’re making a strategic investment. Property owners often see lower per-unit rates compared to individual resident subscriptions, which translates into significant savings across the community. Beyond direct cost benefits, a streaming solution helps reduce churn: residents are less likely to move if reliable entertainment is included, and that means lower vacancy and turnover costs for management.
Entertainment Residents Love
For multifamily residents, convenience is everything. With DIRECTV service built directly into the property, tenants skip the hassle of scheduling installations, juggling bills, or dealing with individual providers. Instead, they enjoy seamless access to the channels and streaming apps they want—right out of the box. Whether it’s sports in the common room, family movie night, or binge-watching in their own unit, the experience is simple, consistent, and built around the way people actually watch TV today.
Groove and DIRECTV deliver tailored TV solutions that enhance the resident experience and add lasting value at your community. We customize each installation to fit your apartment, condo, or student housing community’s unique technical and budget needs. Streaming DIRECTV over your existing internet reduces infrastructure costs while providing residents seamless, modern entertainment.

How do residents access multifamily DIRECTV service from Groove?
Residents use the DIRECTV Stream app on their smart TVs, streaming devices (like Roku or Fire TV), mobile phones, or tablets. It’s simple, familiar, and doesn’t require contracts or in-unit installs.
Residents can still customize their channel lineups with the option of upgrading with add-ons like sports packages or premium movie channels. This flexibility gives residents control while keeping costs down.

Upgrading to a bulk streaming solution doesn’t have to mean disruption. Groove works with property managers to handle the process from start to finish—site evaluation, infrastructure design, installation, and resident onboarding.

How does DIRECTV for multifamily differ from residents buying their own subscription?
When residents subscribe individually, each unit needs its own installation, billing, and service agreement. With a bulk solution, the property signs a single agreement that covers all units at a lower per-unit rate. Residents move in with service ready to go, and management gains a marketable amenity that boosts retention.
Do units need new wiring or equipment for DIRECTV Stream?
No. The service runs over your property’s existing internet infrastructure, minimizing installation needs and eliminating in-unit hardware.
Who provides support if there's an issue, like if the internet goes down?
DIRECTV’s satellite service works independently from property-wide internet, so residents can still access live TV during internet outages. For streaming features that require internet, functionality resumes as soon as the connection is restored.
In addition, Groove offers 24/7 technical support for your staff and residents, ensuring a seamless experience from onboarding through ongoing use.
What types of MDU properties is this for?
DIRECTV Bulk Streaming is ideal for apartments, condos, student housing, and senior living communities—anywhere residents expect high-quality, modern entertainment.
What kind of programming is included with multifamily TV solutions from Groove?
Groove partners with DIRECTV, giving residents live local channels, national networks, sports, news, and on-demand content—delivering the same premium entertainment they expect at home.
Can multifamily TV service be bundled with internet or other service?
Yes! Groove can bundle DIRECTV Bulk Streaming with internet, voice, and smart property solutions to create a comprehensive, cost-effective package.
How does this amenity impact property value?
Adding DIRECTV as an included service positions your property as modern and resident-focused, which can justify higher rent premiums and increase overall asset value.
