Is there any way to revert to older UI home page?

Nope. No way to go back!

Samsung tv app sux. Has for years. If you want some better features you can get a Directv Stream box (also called Gemini box or Osprey) from Walmart for 45 bucks. It comes with a remote with numbers for channeling changing and shortcut buttons to bring up the guide, dvr list, previous channel and record. Guide scrolling doesn't stop at the end of the channels it goes back to the first channel after the end. The box also has google play store for your other apps.

No, we don't have a way to roll back, @Katmeat. DIRECTV is enhancing its app for Samsung devices, to make it easier for you to discover and enjoy your favorite content.

Additionally, you can visit Get help with streaming issues on the DIRECTV App | DIRECTV Support to fix common streaming problems like picture freezing.

Thanks, but it is not the picture freezing, it is this (Edited per community guidelines) UI. When you say you are enhancing the app, do you have a time frame for that?

And it is not the picture that freezes, it is this new half-baked UI!

This new set up is awful!  When I am watching a recorded show, if you skip the commercials and accidentally go too far, it won’t let me back up. This is beyond frustrating!

We don't have a definite time. DIRECTV is constantly making improvements to provide a seamless viewing experience for customers. We also have a specialist available to help you with the freezing issues. We're sending you a DM. John, DIRECTV Community Team

It’s horrible!! Whoever designed this change needs to be fired. I already hated stream and now I’m definitely disappointed in direct tv.  It is not user friendly at all and needs to be fixed.  I’m looking now into other streaming services 

New app is terrible for Samsung tv!! I have to reinstall between each show!!

If you are using the dedicated Samsung app for the Smart TV, then I am not surprised. The app is very inferior and has been since conception. It is recommended to always use an external streaming device like Roku, Amazon Fire, or Apple TV. 

We updated the app because we were prompted to do so and what a disaster. It's constantly locking up. I've had to unplug my television. How is that a better experience? The old menu was perfect and this new one is so convoluted and confusing. When I'm finally able to reach the guide all my channel names are blank. All we see is an opening and the actual channel but you don't know what's playing. We are so upset we are about to cancel because this is ridiculous. Don't fix something that wasn't broke. Seriously whose idea was this? And apparently I'm not the only one irritated and disgusted and (Edited per community guidelines) off. Thank you..... For nothing.

Well, what streaming device are you using? Seriously, it's DirecTV's app to make it what it is. If it does not fit you, then honestly find something that does. There are many options available. I have no issues with using the app on Roku or Fire Sticks. Sure, the format is not to my taste bit probably what I would like you would not like. It is what it is - use it or move on. They sure will not revert it back, but will sure add more cosmetic changes in the future.

We have a Samsung TV. Not that old. We will try your suggestion and use our fire stick. Just frustrated with the update. We both are. Thanks.

Ohhhh - use the native app on the Samsung TV? Those Smart TV apps are junk (especially for DirecTV). Most have finally decided to go with true streaming devices.
