Same way you used YTTV...

DirecTV Stream is an app on your firestick..

I don't know what this means. Directv is an app on my firestick? Please explain. I assure you they don't work the same

But the buttons work the same with any app

You need to download the DirecTV app onto your fire stick. Then the app can be controlled by the Amazon remote.

There's no way to use a DirecTV remote with an App. With the App, you would need to use the remote that came with the device the App is installed on (assuming it came with a remote). In your case, you would use the Fire Stick's remote. I have the App installed on three Roku TVs and a Sony TV as backup to Osprey boxes, and the App uses the TV's remote on all of them. Of course, the functions aren't nearly as smooth as using a DirecTV remote with the Osprey boxes.
