@BlixStZoo Have you tried to "exit" out of the app using the exit popup to see if the loading issue you are experiencing still happens after? This would explain why some people are experiencing this issue and some aren't.

@Ludwick577  not sure why we'd have to do that as we never had to do that before. Plus there's no rhyme or reason as to when the app suddenly doesn't want to load causing us to have to delete and reinstall the app. Some days there's a problem once or twice a day, other days there's no problem at all.

@BlixStZoo I'm trying to troubleshoot the issue so Dtv can issue a fix. Again, a similar loading issue happened with Firesticks a few months ago --Dtv figured it out and a software fix was issued. And it had to do with users using the home button instead of the popup exit. That issue happened out of the blue as well. Can you exit using the popup box then start the app again.. I'm trying to help figure out what in the software is causing the glitch.

@Ludwick577  wow...I didn't think I was being hard headed in saying that there's no rhyme or reason and simply questioning why we should have to exit. I plan on trying it, but since the problem doesn't happen every time I was merely pointing out that it might take time to see if that is the issue.

@chasf00 The guide issues were happening because the app wasn't loading properly. 

@BlixStZoo What is your current Dtv stream app software version? Do you know if there was a recent update?

@BlixStZoo Looks like the 3.30 version came out around Aug 20th or so. Not everyone gets updates at the same time so that's probably why some people are seeing the issue--and some aren't.

I don't think exiting the app has anything to do with this problem.  I never formally exit the app.  I just hit the home button on the Roku remote to close it and I have never had this problem.

The DirecTV Streaming app freezes. We have to uninstall the DTV app and reinstall once a day. Please advise. Thanks.

You can’t exit the app at all. The app acts like it is loading and then doesn’t. There’s not an option to exit other than pressing the home button to get out.
