Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. If I understand your post, you're having some trouble getting the DirectTV app to work on your Mac. I'm happy to provide you with some information.
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.

Have a good day.
