Mar 07, 2019 Update: DirecTV's live tune-in feature designed to let you watch live TV channels through Siri voice commands isn't actually implemented just yet and will be coming at a later date. Get the app free from the App Store or Google Play to get started. Register your mobile device to your receiver. If you have a Genie HD DVR (HR44 or later), you can register your mobile device to your receiver (s) to stream live channels and access your DVR playlist. A directv.com account and DIRECTV NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX, NFL SUNDAY TICKET BASIC, or NFLSUNDAYTICKET.TV subscription is required to watch live video. NFL blackout rules and conditions apply. Streaming is available for out-of-market NFL SUNDAY TICKET games only (1pm ET and 4pm ET games). DirecTV recently released its Nomad product that lets you copy recordings from your DVRs to PC, iPhone, iPad. Soon it will also support Mac. Then you could copy shows easily to your MacBook to view at your convenience at home or elsewhere.

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.
