Closed caption issue on Apple TV

The Apple TV remote will not work with closed captioning on Direct TV now. It used to work and it still does with another TV. It works on my iPad. I have powered off, made sure my Apple TV was updated and even deleted the Direct TV streaming app and reloaded it. The “down “ button still works to allow me to navigate programs etc so it isn’t the remote itself. Any ideas?

Needed to add that the other TV that the closed captioning works on is not an Apple TV. It has the Direct TV streaming box. So it seems to just be an issue with Apple TV and Direct TV since it works on other apps on that TV
