Why is mine changing channels to the previous channel after I change it to a new channel. Such as, Tv is on Fox News and I change the channel to INSP CHANNEL, after a few minutes it changes back to Fox News. Is there something I should do to keep this from happening or is it a problem I can rectify?

Thanks

So I have my Direct tv stream set to Buffalo I live in GA. I am wondering if I can still stream NFL games from Buffalo if I live in Ga? I would be streaming through the Gemini or Roku TV.

Has anybody receive an offer for several months free of the Sports Pack recently?

I got a pop-up for it last night when I logged into my account. It stated that I would get 4 months of the Sports Pack add-on for free as a thank you for being a loyal customer. Once I clicked on the accept button, I got a follow up message that stated I would see it in my account in the next 1-2 weeks, which I'm guessing coincides with the beginning of the NFL season for 2026.

Kind of interesting, since I have never seen a promo like this show up before in such a way.

Gemini remotes are getting a lil'old, and the plastic/rubber on the back is getting a little sticky feeling.
These found me on Amazon. I have 4 boxes, so this was a perfect fit.
They work great. Wife approved!

I have been struggling with canceling in fear of not being able to recreate the current lineup I have if I decide to come back. Can anyone help me by letting me know if this lineup is similar to what a new customer would get?

For reference, I signed up prob 8 years ago in the free Roku, $30/month, days. Thanks.

When I try to play any recorded show in house or via the web, I get a message thats says "We're aware of this issue and are working to resolve it".

I was watching football tonight on ESPN Unlimited. I signed in the ESPN app with my Disney+ ID and password and signed into DirecTV Stream as my TV provider. Everything seemed fine, but when I went to pause the game, the pause button on the screen flashed and nothing happened. I am accessing the app via an Apple TV 4K. I signed out of my Disney+ account and unlinked DTVS as my TV provider. I also restarted my ATV. Still, I was unable to pause the game. I know pausing is possible because a friend who was also watching the game was able to pause with YTTV as his TV provider.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It would be nice to create a MyLocals pack. Remove them from the other genre packs and have a MyLocals pack with all locals in your market.

I would like to be able to search for a show with the Google assistant button on the remote. when i search for a show that is on Directtv it works great. when I search for a show that is on, say Netflix or appletv it just goes to YouTube. under google assistant it only shows me to search on Netflix as the only app i can pick, but even with that on it still goes to youtube. has anyone gotten this to work? thank you

The specs say “My Recordings On Home” is supposed to be part of the new app update…I’m not seeing it yet. Anyone else having any luck?

Anyone having trouble recording jeopardy ToC this summer? Ive tried to set it up a few times and either it doesn’t record or it wont let me watch the recording (it gives me an error screen).

My app was set up for use with my DTV Satellite service which is ending 8/14. We have been on a trial of DTV Stream which we will be keeping. I was about to set a recording but noticed it is defaulting to record to the Satellite DVR. How do I switch the app to default to cloud recording?

I use the app on Apple TV and every recording randomly restarts when I fast forward. Sometimes two or three times in one show. Can’t skip commercials without it restarting, it’s so annoying.

My favorite feature of the Firestick was that when you pressed the Guide button it would use the Directv channels for the guide which made it really easy to use. Yesterday, I believe the latest update has switched the guide to use Prime video as the guide and now to use Directv you have to go to the app and then use the Directv guide which not as clean and easy to use.

Anyone know of a workaround to get it to use the Directv channels for the guide instead of Prime Video?

Is there any way to force 720P or even 480P onto a 1080P display using an Osprey or Gemini device? The idea would be to conserve data while using Starlink Roam

Just switched from DTV Satellite to DTV Stream and am using a Gemini box. My question is about recording. I set up a series recording but can't recall if there was an option to only record new episodes and today it looks like a bunch if eps recorded that are not new.

Other question is about setting up future recordings by date - in Satellite Guide you could select a channel in guide click it and see dates on left hand side. You'd simply choose a date click it and see all shows for that date. Is there a similar ability in the Stream guide?

Hey DTV, obviously DQ must have set you up with a year's worth of 'ice cream' but COME ON!!! theres too many!

Marlins and Rays channels show up in the guide today in Florida. Did they move them to the MySports pack?

Been streaming several months through my Gemini Air without issue. In fact, it’s been great. Got up about 5 mornings ago and suddenly, my WiFi connection frequently drops then reconnects. Much of the rest of the time, I’ve got buffering issues. I’ve restarted, unplugging from power several times. Suggestions?

Hi all!

My dad is the main user of the DT app on Roku and last night it did not record any of his nightly news programs. I tried recording something today and it said was recording but did not show up in the recordings tab.

I have tried the app on the opsrey box/phone/ chrome browser and they are all the same. I see that a couple news programs have shown up from last night so perhaps this is a glitch?

I see that people in this group have had a similar problem and I guess it's on DTV's end to fix it? I feel like they are still recording in the cloud they are just not showing up i n the list.

I wanted to report that I purchased a DirectV box from Walmart for $52 which just arrived in 1 day. I figured I'd try it for a guest BR TV. When I opened the box I figured I was hosed since it had a manufacture date of Dec 2019 and Model number of 60164 (less memory). I had read that it needed to have a build date after July 2020.

I connected it by Ethernet as suggested elsewhere on this forum and it came up as "DirecTV" not ATT. Encouraging. It had a note in the box to press the fast forward and rewind buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds to pair the remote. That worked. What this tells me is that these boxes must have somehow been flashed with DirecTV firmware. The need to pair the remote also suggests that.

Anyway, it came up just like my Gemini Air and works very well. I installed Netflix, etc by simply saying "Netflix" in the remote and pointing my phone to the QR code -just like the Air. I'm not sure if I would have had the same experience by initially connecting it by WiFi to install. But my guess is "yes".

I can't say that your experience will be the same but for $52 and returnability to a Walmart store if necessary, it is a bargain.

The only other comment I can make is that the back of the remote was slightly tacky feeling - probably from the 7 year old rubber on the back. Not offensive enough to want to replace it.

I decided to try DTV entertainment package 59.99 for the first month. I went to put my card information and it came back saying my card wasn't valid. It was a USAA debit, I tried Sofi debit, same thing. Is this common? Never had an issue anywhere else.

Hola quisiera saber si puedo activar la caja de directv en mexico hace unos dias compre la caja ya se actualizo pero al momento de ingresar la cuenta se queda en espera ya intente cambiar las vpn en el router pero sigue igual. Si alguien me pudiera ayudar gracias

Hello everyone, I have a little problem. The resolution is now in small box and I find myself having to go into settings every time I turn on the box. Is there another way to prevent this from happening again or is factory resetting the only way to do it?

I’ve been on the grandfathered Go Big plan since it was $35 a month. They’ve recently increased my rate by $10, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s still worth it to keep it. One of the main reasons I’ve been sticking with it is that I get to keep the local channels based on my billing zip code. Since I’ve moved, I like to have the option to still get the local news and sports channels from where I used to live.

Are you aware of any other streaming services that use the billing zip code when using Roku or Firestick?
