“PRESS DOWN TO SEE RECENT CHANNELS” BANNER

Not certain why DIRECTV would find the RECENT CHANNELS Banner a helpful option on the streaming device without some obvious way to remove this annoying banner.  It appears and stays in position. 

I have contacted DIRECTV Support several times and their agents DO NOT KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THIS ANNOYING BANNER.

Perhaps someone on this Forum will have a solution since I can not get one from DIRECTV.  If the company would investigate complaints on the Internet by their customers, perhaps DIRECTV would take measures to remove this ANNOYING BANNER!!!

Does anyone know how to remove the… “PRESS DOWN TO SEE RECENT CHANNEL” Banner???

There is no way to remove that banner. Many find it helpful when watching several programs at once, on a Roku or Fire Stick. Not so much when using a DirecTV box because it has the "PREV" button, on the remote.

I am baffled why DirecTV would permanently hide several inches of my TV viewing area with that notification. This is not acceptable.
