Live TV AutoPlay

Every time I open the app on my iPhone XR, live TV starts playing automatically when I’m on WiFi. I don’t like this and I would like to turn this function off competently. How do I do that?

Hi @Nik2426,

 

We're happy to address your question.

 

At this time, there is no option to keep the app from playing content once it's open. We're sorry for any inconvenience.

 

If you have any other questions, let us know.

I figured out my own temporary solution This week, but really this is something that should be an option!! 

 

I keep the app on the “Browse for TV” tab. This way it seems to open on the Guide instead of Live TV when I open the app. If I want to use the “Watch on iPhone” tab I just make sure I switch before I close the app.

It's been long enough since this concern was posted. It is poor business to not have included a fix by now. 

If it was MS or Apple people would be screaming!
