DTV Stream Device Switch to an app when playing back

I have 3 DTV Stream Devices. The issue I am having is when playing back a recorded program, the devices will switch to another streaming app like HBO MAX or Netflix, sit there for a few seconds, then reboot. This is happening to all 3 of my devices, and also on 2 replacement devices. The remotes are all fine, no sticking buttons etc..

Hello, u/mfangeloni. Watching your favorite recordings without any interruption is essential. As this is an unusual situation, please try to watch your recorded program from the app using a different device and let me know if the issue persists. Dylan, DIRECTV Community Specialist

It is a known glitch. I've reported it to them. Best way to prevent it from happening, for now---is to hit the apps button on the remote--hit the 3 dots on the remote and force quit the first few apps listed. Then always force quit the last app used. Works for me. Apps no longer open randomly.
