Directv streaming issues

I haven't been able to stream directv on my imac since updating to osMonterey. I keep getting the same error message: "upgrade directtv player". I've tried clearing cache, downloading player, and restarting the browser (multiple times) and still get the same message each time. I am able to stream directly from the nbc, abc, ESPN sites, but not from the directv site.

I'm using safari browser. I also tried chrome browser and get the same message.

I contacted directv customer support, who blame it on Mac.

Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else with directv since updating to Monterey.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13
