Bulk DIRECTV Stream for Multifamily Properties
Consumers want video content at a higher level than ever — and they're frustrated with what individual cable and streaming subscriptions cost. DIRECTV Stream and MDU bulk programming flip the script: premium TV becomes a building amenity owners can actually monetize, with per-unit economics, zero satellite dish install, and 100% internet delivery.
Premium TV Residents Actually Use
Per-Unit Economics
Bulk programming prices per unit — significantly below retail — so residents get premium TV without paying retail rates.
Infrastructure-Light
No rooftop dish, no common-area coax pulls, no receivers behind every TV. DIRECTV Stream runs on your internet.
Multi-Device Streaming
Residents watch on TV, phone, tablet, or laptop — anywhere on the property. The same lineup follows them.
Move-In/Out Automation
Residents activate access at lease signing; move-outs revoke instantly. No truck rolls, no returned equipment, no billing cleanup.
Single Vendor Accountability
One contract for TV service, network design, install, and ongoing support. When something breaks, you have one number — ours.
24/7 Resident Support
SLA-backed technical support for residents, not just property management. Front-desk staff stops being the IT help desk.

Follow-Me Streaming

DIRECTV Stream for Multifamily
Consumers want video content at a higher level than ever — across every device, every room, every screen — and DIRECTV Stream Bulk is the solution built for that demand. Stream pushes the full DIRECTV lineup over your building's internet to every device with no dish, no coax, and no receiver boxes. Residents watch on TV, phone, tablet, or laptop using their apartment-issued credentials. The property owns the contract; residents get premium TV as a building amenity, not a utility they manage themselves.
MDU Bulk Contracts That Work
Owners are looking for a way to monetize amenities — not just absorb their cost — and bulk DIRECTV pricing turns video into one. Per-unit costs come in well below retail, neutralizing the resident frustration with what individual subscriptions run. At realistic subscription rates, the economics favor the building model over individual pass-through billing — often significantly. We model ROI during the survey based on your unit count, existing network capacity, and target lineup tier, so you see exactly what the stack looks like before you sign.
Broadband & Wi-Fi Infrastructure
Streaming TV at scale needs real network engineering — not just "good enough" Wi-Fi. Axis designs the backbone, switches, access points, and in-unit cabling alongside the DIRECTV deployment so every resident gets a reliable stream at peak hours. If your existing plant can't carry the load, we upgrade it as part of one project, one contract, one handoff.
MDU Bulk Programming
Premium Channels as a Building Amenity
Consumers want video content at a higher level than ever before — and bulk DIRECTV programming delivers it across the entire property at per-unit pricing well below retail. Residents get a premium channel lineup as part of their lease; owners gain an amenity they can actually monetize instead of just absorbing as overhead; property managers handle one vendor instead of dozens.
Infrastructure-Light Deployment
Fast Install, Minimal Construction
DIRECTV Stream runs on the internet infrastructure you already have. No rooftop dish, no drilling common walls, no coax pulls through occupied units. Axis handles any network upgrades needed to support the streams and commissions the system end-to-end.
Property Owner Economics
Per-Unit Pricing That Works
Consumers are frustrated with what individual cable and streaming subscriptions cost, and bulk pricing solves that frustration at the building level. Per-unit rates land well below retail; at 75%+ subscription rates — typical for a well-marketed amenity — the economics favor the bulk model significantly over pass-through billing, turning the TV line item into a monetizable amenity. We model ROI during the survey.
Quarterly Multifamily Promotions
Current DIRECTV Bulk Programming Incentives
DIRECTV rotates MDU and multifamily bulk-programming incentives every quarter — promotional per-unit pricing, premium-channel upgrades, waived months, and bonus credits on long-term contracts. We stay current on every available program and structure each deal to capture maximum value for the property owner.
Channel counts and pricing reflect current DIRECTV multifamily promotional offers. Final per-unit pricing depends on property size, contract term, and selected channel tier. Contact Axis for an ROI model tailored to your community.
Premium TV That Earns Its Place on Your Amenity List
Consumers want video content at a higher level than ever before — and they're frustrated with what individual pricing and fragmented video products deliver. Owners need amenities they can actually monetize, not just absorb. DIRECTV Stream Bulk is the solution. With Axis and DIRECTV Stream, premium TV becomes a real differentiator on the lease tour: residents get familiar channels and apps across every device; property management gets a single-vendor relationship covering programming, network, and resident support; ownership gets per-unit economics that beat pass-through retail. One install, one contract, one point of accountability — and a TV amenity that actually fills units.

Frequently Asked Questions
DIRECTV Stream is internet-delivered TV — residents log in and watch on any device. MDU is a broader program for multifamily properties that can include Stream, bulk satellite programming, or a hybrid. We scope which fits your property during the survey.
No. DIRECTV Stream is 100% internet-delivered. Your building needs solid broadband — which we can design if you don't already have it — but no dish, no coax pulls, no rooftop work.
Bulk contracts price per unit and scale with property size. Savings are typically significant versus retail rates. We model the ROI during the site survey based on your unit count and existing network capacity.
Residents activate their access at move-in through a property-specific portal. Move-outs revoke access instantly; no truck roll, no equipment return, no billing cleanup.
A solid HD stream runs comfortably at 8–15 Mbps per simultaneous viewer; 4K streams start around 25 Mbps. For most multifamily properties that means 100 Mbps+ per unit and a well-designed backbone. If your building's network can't carry that today, we design the upgrades as part of the deployment.
Each property gets a white-labeled signup portal. New residents enter their unit number and a move-in code at lease signing; their account provisions automatically within minutes. No credit checks, no credentials sent to their personal email — the property controls the access list.
Yes. DIRECTV Stream runs on smart TVs, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, iOS, Android, and the web. Residents can watch the same account on several devices; we configure the concurrent-stream limit with property management at setup.
Yes. If your existing backbone, Wi-Fi, or in-unit wiring can't carry the streaming load reliably, we design and install the upgrades — switches, access points, fiber runs, in-unit cabling — as part of the single project. One vendor, one scope, one invoice.
Streaming relies on internet, so a total outage will impact streaming availability. For properties that need a fallback, we can architect a hybrid solution that adds a DIRECTV satellite headend as a backup source for a subset of channels and common-area TVs.
Bulk lineups typically include ESPN family, regional sports networks, major entertainment (HBO, TNT, Paramount with Showtime), and DIRECTV's streaming apps (DIRECTV On Demand, major streaming channels). Residents can often upgrade their individual account with premium add-ons at a discount.
Yes. A hybrid deployment is common for properties with legacy coax wiring or spotty broadband — satellite powers common areas and a fallback, Stream powers the in-unit resident experience. We scope the right mix during the survey.
A Stream-only deployment on a property with solid existing broadband can be live in 2-4 weeks. Properties that need network upgrades or wiring work run longer; we give you a firm schedule after the site survey.
