My tv fastforwards it's self

When ever I play a show on a streaming service it fast forwards by itself and even if I click ok or back it just keeping doing it over and over I used to be able to turn the tv off and then on and it would stop but now it doesn't work anymore. Please help

What DirecTV Streaming app/device are you using?

Have you tried resetting it?

What do you mean by the whole TV resets?  Are you pressing a button on your TV or pressing a button on the Directv Gemini Air?  Pressing the reset button on the Directv Gemini Air will only reset the Directv device, not your TV.

Then you are doing a factory reset. You just want to restart (not reset) your device. You can do that by unplugging and plugging back in. Or go into settings---system---device preferences----restart

So then are you having this issue using the Directv Stream service itself-----or just the apps on the device? Also--change the batteries in your remote.

So when I play normal tv it tries to fast forward but can't because it's live. It does it on streaming services and I changed to battery's yesterday? I have no clue. I have 4 tvs connected to geminis and only my living room tv does this. Starting to give up hope honestly
