DirecTV Stream "down" arrow stopped working.

Hello there! We are sorry for the inconvenience you have with your remote control. Let's meet in a DM to take a closer look at your case. Jhonny, DIRECTV Community Specialist

I’m having the same issue, did you ever find a resolution?

I have a Harmony Elite/Hub

I’m having the same problem using a no-name 3rd party remote and my iPhone 14’s remote.

Any solution?

Same issue over here.  Price hikes galore but DTV doesn't care to fix it.  SMH

@DIRECTVhelp : Clearly there appears to be an issue, can you guys contact your development team so they can fix the bug and push an update. 

Adding that i'm on control4 with the official control4 apple ip control driver.  But this does it with the IR driver also and my old harmony that i had in storage. (just tested to see).  Super annoying.  We pay every month, can't you have something reliable?  Definitely not user error....

We will certainly look into this and work towards a resolution. You can also check here on how to fix frequent issues on Apple TV https://www.directv.com/support/article/000067089 Let's meet via PM so that we can gather more details about your case. Juan, DIRECTV Community Specialist

This issue seems to occur on a variety of remotes, where the remote works fine with other apps, so it’s clearly not a hardware issue. It’s far more likely a bug in the DirecTV tvOS app, which needs to be addressed – ASAP.

Switching to the DTV app on my phone to view the Info screen for a show is getting very old, very fast. Plus, I’ve lost access to the program playback options of the Info screen on my Apple TV (where applicable).

@tremolux66 agreed 100%..... it's basically making the app un-usable which is a tough pill to swallow after $20+ increase in 2023...

Don't get me started how laggy the app is on ATV4k 1st generations.  All other apps work great but it's near un-usable on 1st gen ATV4k's :( 

Curious who they hire to program these things lol

@96directtv It’s as if I removed a button from the remote for one of my sister’s DTV SAT boxes (e.g., Info, but this function on the tvOS app does a bit more than that). I appreciate the DTV staff is trying to help when they ask to DM users, but as far as I can tell, the issue has little or nothing to do with an individual user or their configuration, and they should just escalate the issue with the development team.

Although the DTV tvOS app has some other issues on my ATV (e.g., tends to freeze, lose audio, or lose audio sync), none is a showstopper – I can usually just do channel-up, channel-down to fix them. The DTV app is not a stunning performer, but it’s better than the tvOS app from my cable provider – that was really sluggish when changing channels, etc.

I have the same issue (down arrow doesn't do anything) using the Directv app on my Roku where the Directv app is version 3.34 build 3750102. Another Roku with a different version works fine.

Throttle7428 Your Roku experience seems to confirm that it’s an app software issue and that it’s cross-platform. All the more reason to diagnose and fix it.

i’m having same issues with hisense and tcl. removed and reloaded the app, no joy. 

I happened to hit the back button a few times and found the new app uses the back button instead of the down arrow to open the menus.

Any updates on this? starting to get annoying as there is more $$ being taken out of my pocket yet no urgency to fix this?
