Guide preview not streaming with DIRECTV app on my Hisense Roku TV

I’m having a problem with the DIRECTV app on my Hisense Roku TV.

TV: Hisense OLED-Series-40
Roku software: 15.3
DIRECTV app: Version 4.26, Build 306103

The live TV channels play normally in full screen.

The problem is specifically the small live-video preview in the Guide. When I highlight a channel, the preview initially starts: I can hear the audio and see the progress bar moving for a few seconds. When the progress bar finishes, the preview stops playing.

If I press OK while the preview is playing, the channel switches to full screen and continues playing normally.

I have already:

  • Factory reset the TV
  • Reinstalled the DIRECTV app
  • Restarted the TV
  • Restarted the app
  • Confirmed that full-screen live TV works normally

The problem only affects the Guide’s mini live preview.

Can you please check whether this is a known issue with DIRECTV app version 4.26 build 306103 on Roku TV, and escalate it to the DIRECTV app engineering team if necessary?

Hi, @Techungry. Thanks for sharing such detailed steps — this report is incredibly helpful. The mini live video preview in the Guide should smoothly switch into the full-screen channel once the loading bar finishes; since your stream cuts out right at that handoff, we’ll send you a DM so our team can take a closer look.
