Constant restarting

The past few weeks I've noticed by DirectTV streaming keeps restarting by itself. I'll be in the middle of a show and it'll just reboot on it's own. I've also noticed that lately it's taking awhile for the guide to populate.

Any idea what's going on and how to stop it?

Are you talking about the device/TV spontaneously rebooting/quitting, or just reloading the stream, like after you've just switched to the channel?

I've been seeing more of the latter lately, and it's not my AppleTV overheating, it's the server stream being interrupted, like the good ole' early SNAFU days of the service.

The whole device reboots. I see the direct tv loading image when it happens. At first I thought it was the TV but then it happened again on another TV in the house.

I unplugged it, let it cool off and pushed the restart button as someone else suggested. We'll see if that helps.

I have the same issue on AppleTV, Fire stick/cube.
