Hi @dearth74ab, let's get your remote functions back to normal.

Most of the problems with a DIRECTV STREAM remote can be fixed by setting up a factory reset:

- Press and hold the Home and Exit keys simultaneously, until the LEDs on both sides display red.
- Press 981 on the remote control.
- The LEDs will turn Off and then blink blue 3 times on both sides.

Let us know how it goes. We're here to help,

Luis, DIRECTV Community Specialist.

You posted in the Sat. forum so I moved it over to the Directv Stream Forum.

What device are you using to stream are you using the Directv Streaming Box?
