DTV Stream Boxes Following Channels of Others
I have a few direct tv stream boxes and some amazon fire sticks and something started recently that is driving me insane. My wife always watches halmark. I always have CNBC on in my office. Every morning now when I turn on my office tv it sstarts with halmark or whatever channel she watched last on a different device all together! It didnt use to sync like this, how do I turn it off? Its infuriating.

Since the service does not offer profiles, last channel is based on the account holder signed in to the device, not the device itself. It's always been that way with the service. Been some reports that the proprietary DirecTV Stream device use to work the way you describe. It appears that with the recent device upgrade that they have changed the last channel watched to be like all other devices now. I do not use the DirecTV Stream device, but all my streaming devices have always defaulted to the last channel watched by the account holder, regardless of what streaming device is used.

Thanks, that is a huge disappointment. That takes away a big reason to own the DTV branded boxes. Seems like something that can so easily be turned back on or give us the option with a setting. If anyone from DTV is watching, please give us the option back, this was a major downgrade.
