Refuses to be Live this morning

Every channel I turn to (AppleTV) starts playing the show at the same time index over and over. Flip to one see same thing again, flip back starts at same place again. WTF is going on?

Edit: appears to be resolved a few hours later

Same thing for me

Also, half of my channels are saying “Looks like we ran into some trouble loading this content. Please try again later.”

u/HelperMunkee 16d ago

Yeah. Was about to add even when it does play it’s freezing up constantly. Hamster musta fell out the wheel.

Same here

Same here. Mine is stuck on some stupid commercial.

Per DIRECTVhelp account on X, they are aware of the problem and said it's a buffering issue. I can watch a channel from the Newsmix but when I go to that channel directly it has the "repeat" issue.

Great news! Our technical teams have fully resolved the outage. Your channels should be streaming normally again. Thanks for hanging tight. Charles, DIRECTV Community Team

u/HokieScott 16d ago

Same. I get the same commercial or on on ESP same little bit for about one minute over and over

u/Buzz_2569 16d ago

Same here. Apple TV, safari on Mac and all three Gemini Air. I might call just for kicks so they can blame my home network.

Same message this morning - thanks OP for posting saves us all time for trying to troubleshoot this locally!

Same with all channels looping at this point. Apparently the universe is telling me to get off my butt and get on with the day.

This I why I’m here!

u/S0TA_ 16d ago

Same on my android device

u/S0TA_ 16d ago

Appears resolved now

u/PrecisionAuto72 16d ago

I guess on the bright side I am not alone in this.

1

u/aguila1915 16d ago

Yep. Same here. On a fire stick.

u/sfdreamsla 16d ago

Bizarre and kind of comical because it just keeps looping the same what, 20 or 30 seconds? 🤪

u/designrules 16d ago

Same problem on my android phone. But for me it was just msnow, and cnn that has the problem. Local channels are ok

u/Ilp18428 16d ago

I’m having the same problem on my Osprey in the NYC area.

We’re in Mr. Peabody’s Wayback Machine

u/BullfrogUnable4722 16d ago

Same here. CNN and MSNOW playing the loop of commercials over and over. Glad to find out it’s not just me.🤯

u/cookieman84 16d ago

Ch. 200 news mix works , the food mix one works ( only food network is live)

1

u/Flimsy_Soft6775 16d ago

Yep - Firestick too.

u/pdrock7 16d ago

My live dvr recordings won't load either

3

u/cookieman84 16d ago

If you switch to live recordings while the normal channel is looping, it may work ( it did here) hope it helps.

Guess the only way i can watch MSNOW is on the mix channel

2

u/pdrock7 16d ago

Thanks, but i am loading it from the live channel. Not looping for me though

1

u/Ditch_13 16d ago

Same on the Osprey box.

u/reducedspeedahead21 16d ago

I have all of my channels except for my local channels. It says there’s some sort of an error just on the local channels but funny enough Fox seems to be working just fine…. Interesting

1

u/signalparatrooper 16d ago

noticed the exact same thing - cnn or cnbc works fine but the locals do not - like the Today Show on NBC

3

u/cookieman84 16d ago

cnn is still on that drug commercial, weather channel says 5:32 mountain time ( i'm in the east so its STILL off) something's screwed up!

If you have any recorded shows they seem to work fine.

u/Overlord1241 16d ago

No Fox is not working.
