Disable enhanced menu Pop-up notifications

The enhanced menu Pop-up notifications are unwanted.  How do I disable these messages - annoying, unwanted, and they disrupt functionality.

Hey @otrash23, we want to help with the notifications pop-up.

Let's meet in a Direct Message to take a closer look on this. Please check your DIRECTV Message inbox (it's the chat icon next to the bell icon on the upper right corner of the Forums).

@otrash23 they can be cleared by clicking the EXIT button. However, I am not aware of a way to completely get rid of it.

Thanks detuch254.  Thing is, on channels where the option is available and the pop-up has not even popped-up yet, the change channel up/down function is interrupted and you have to go to the channel guide to get around that. 

Also, if you hit the exit button when the pop-up happens, it does go away, but then comes right back again.  It is almost like DTV requires the notice to be seen and to be on your screen for a certain period of time every time you go to one of those channels...

A simple menu item opting out would be appreciated.

I agree, it can be annoying at times. On my non-Genie HR24 receiver, it does go away with the EXIT button. Sorry to hear that yours doesn't go away.

Hello, @otrash23 . Let's check together these notifications.

Please share with us the channels where these notifications appears, also do they appear at a specific hour or programming? Since you have Genie receivers, do you have your receivers connected to the broadband?

Yes, connected to wireless Bband.

Channels 245, 246, 247 lately.  I have not done a complete survey of the others.  The delays in utility of the remote appear to occur at all times.

Regardless the lack of functionality, I would like the option of turning off the notices/reminders.  Same goes with the notices that say I can go to the beginning of the show by pressing "<<". 

It would be cool if you had a menu of potential enhancements that I could opt into instead of having to try to opt-out.

We would like to stop the available also on 4K message. We hit exit, but it keeps coming back. We know about 4K and would watch it if it was a significantly better picture. We don’t need reminded incessantly.

How do I disable the "available in 4k on channel ???" message that always pops up? Very annoying to have to clear it everytime. I am aware they are available and I don't need this pop up.
