TV display changes sizes

Today, while watching TV, the screen display size changes automatically.  Never happened before.  If I use ok button, it will change back to HD mode, but then it changes back again to smaller screen display.  How do I 'fix' it?

Hi, @JLSafety_2025. Is this issue happening on multiple channels or just one? Have you also attempted to adjust your TV ratio to check if it continues to change on its own? Rizza, DIRECTV Community Specialist

DVR/Receiver model number?

How is the DirecTV box connected to your TV?

What channel(s) have this issue?

TV is connected to DirectTV via a HDMI dongle.  NO box.

This is the DTV sat forum, you should post in the DTV streaming forum.

My Update info:  When it changes from the full screen, HD mode, it reverts to the initial opening screen, showing current program in "picture in picture" and the options on what I want to select (HDMI input selection site, Hulu, etc.), NOT a smaller version of the screen I am watching.

Sounds like a TV setting issue. What brand/model TV?

Are you a DirecTV Satellite or DirecTV Stream customer?
