Alexa Directv Skill: Trouble Communicating with Directv. Check your devices network connection and power supply.

I can no longer use the Alexa Directv Skill to control my Directv. I receive a message: "I had trouble communicating with Directv. Check yur devices network connection or power supply. I have tried to delete the skill, relink it, and rediscovering the Directv devices. I also link the Directv device to the Alexa I am using to control the device. This has been ongoing for about a month. Before it was intermitent.

Is your DIRECTV receiver currently connected to the same network as your Alexa device? What is the receiver model? How is your DIRECTV receiver connected to the internet?

I have a HR54-700 and it is connected to the same network as my Alexa devices. The received/Genie is connected via Wire Network. I ran a network test and it was successful. I have tried restarting my router, my Genie (including hitting the reset button), and I have removed and readded the Skill. I was getting this intermittently before, but now it will not work at all.

Mine says connected, responds to commands but channels don't change... Would be great to have this back!
