Gemini Air 72 hour look back not working

Can anyone confirm that 72 hour look back works and maybe tell me what steps you are using and which network. I have 2 new Gemini airs both with the same issue. I follow all the directions, selecting a network off the guide, getting to the single network vertical guide but can never get above the current show playing to see previous shows. I tried many of the networks that are listed as supporting look back and also followed all the troubleshooting steps.

Hi, @mpnret. You’re not seeing the option to view past programming because some networks restrict that feature.

Networks and programmers offer 72 hour lookback content, though availability can vary seasonally. If a particular network or show doesn’t support lookback, the drop-down date menu on your Gemini Air vertical Guide won’t let you select previous days. Try these navigation steps on a few major networks to see if earlier calendar days become selectable:

  • Select a channel from the Guide or Network list.

  • Use the drop-down arrow to choose a previous day.

  • Pick a selectable program to access 72 Hour Lookback.

For the official list of networks that provide 72 Hour Lookback, visit How to use 72 Hour Lookback | DIRECTV Support Kenneth, DIRECTV Community Team
