Directv stream box goes back to 'Your TV' screen every 10 minutes

While watching any live tv on my Directtv stream box, after exactly 10 minutes it goes back to the 'Your TV' screen and I have to press ok on the remote to get back out of it to the channel. I can't find any settings at all causing this. Resetting the box stops it for a day or so but then it comes back.

I'd try a factory reset.

How does one do a factory reset?

Assuming you have a Gemini or Gemini Air, press and hold the red button on the side for 20 seconds. Note that a factory reset erases all installed apps (and updates to built-in apps, but those should auto re-update), all saved passwords, and likely some other things - you have to start setup all over again -  so it’s a sort of last resort.

I called technical support and they restarted/reset my machine remotely and it fixed the issue.
