Default channel

Every time I turn on DIRECTV Stream I get Fox News. I want the last channel I watched to pop up, not Fox News...which I don't watch.

The last channel watched is the default channel. Since there are no profiles, the last channel watched using the account holder log in on any device is the default channel.

I have this same issue. As soon as I turn on the TV, the channel changes from the last channel I watched.  So there is a setting somewhere, but I can’t find it.  This happens on only 1 TV.

There is no option to set a default channel. The last watched is the default channel.

It is supposed to be the last channel watched (as noted, by any user of the account on any device - it isn't tied to a specific TV).  And it seems to be for me.  However, I'm perfectly willing to believe that this isn't completely reliable.  That said, does anyone else use the account, perhaps on a mobile device?

I’m watching Direct TV at a hotel and it’s defaulting to Fox News every time I turn it back on. Very annoying. Can’t wait for hotels to upgrade to smart TVs and end this.
