How to Fix Care Code 201

Troubleshoot your DIRECTV app

  1. Close & restart your app
  2. Check for DIRECTV app updates in your device’s app store. If you find an update, install it and restart your device.
  3. Uninstall then reinstall the app

If you experience buffering while streaming the DIRECTV App or it repeatedly closes or crashes, try the following tips:

  • Check your Wi-Fi connection for stability.
  • Check for updates to the app in your App Store. If an update is available, install it and restart the device.
  • Check for software updates on your mobile or streaming device.
  • Close out and restart the DIRECTV App.
  • Restart your device.

Try these following options to troubleshoot:

  • Check the spelling of the email address.
  • If you’re using a computer, delete any saved IDs by clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, then close and relaunch the browser.
  • Reset the password using the Forgot Password option.

To fix this issue, you’d need to call DIRECTV (number in my greeting below) and say ‘sign-in help’ to the robot. The instructions I gave for this in my first response are still valid.

If that doesn’t work, you can try logging in on a different device, turning off VPNs, antivirus, ad-blockers, and other firewalls, etc.
