Do you have DIRECTV STREAM or directv satellite? What is the remote model (available at the top left and starts with RC) and the receiver model?

Same here, not going back to the previous channel. Keeps going to channel 100.

Exact same issue with returning to prior channel after watching program on DVR.  Been going on at least 5 or 6 weeks.  You would think with all the money we pay monthly something as simple as this would be fixed by now!  Been a loyal customer for over 20 years, shouldn't have to deal with this and seriously considering moving on to another TV platform service.

We have called Directv several times.  First we were told it would be fixed in a couple of days.  NOT!!  Then they said it’s not affecting everyone.  I don’t care that it is not affecting everyone…it is affecting ME!

Hello @DonnaNL. We apologize for the ongoing problem with the button on your remote control. An outage has been reported concerning this issue, and our team is actively addressing it. Kindly press the red reset button on your receiver to check if this resolves the problem. Let us know if the issue continues after the reset so that we can submit an escalation for you to receive updates. Stephanie, DIRECTV Community Specialist

@DIRECTVhelp  we have reset the receiver more than once and that does not resolve the issue.

Whenever I use the Previous button DTV sends me to channel 100 where they are pushing the sports package. This happens on my main box. My 2 smaller boxes work OK. I disconnected the power and let it re boot, no change. Makes me think they are more interested in me buying their sports channel than anything else.
