Recent Channels feature won’t load - error message about trouble, try again later

My DirecTV Stream box is no longer allowing the recent channels feature to work, as in when you press the up or down arrow on the remote.  The Recent Channels banner and the rectangles come up, then an error pops up “Looks like we ran into some trouble loading this content. Please try again in a bit.”  I’ve tried rebooting/power cycling.  Checked for updates.  No dice.  Channels and everything still load, and if you go into the guide and move over to Recents, the list comes up fine, but that is a lot more work than just pressing one or two buttons and waiting for the guide.
