DirecTV Now app working again on LeEco TVs? Full Android TV app a possibility?

by rhdelgado

Is there anyone here with a LeEco Android TV that could confirm that the DirecTV Now app is working again?

The Twitter account for the new CordCutters site (from the Mobile Nations team that does Android Central, iMore, Windows Central, etc) reported today that the old discontinued DirecTV Now Android TV app on their LeEco TV started working again. Here is the Tweet.

For folks asking about @DIRECTVNow on #AndroidTV, we’d imagine it’s finally coming. Interesting is that the app on the extinct LeEco TVs is once again working, so that’s a sign.

They also imply that this could mean a full release of an Android TV app is coming. What do you think? I will believe it only when I see it.

Interesting. I wonder if it is a new APK or the same one from last year.

Definitely not working, and it won't let me sideload any firetv apk either
