Fox News on DirectTV App

It isn’t removed for me. Are you using the older ‘DIRECTV on the Go’ application or the new all-in-one ‘DIRECTV’ application that combines both stream and satellite accounts?

The newer all-in-one ‘DIRECTV’ app has a dozen bugs so I recommend using the older app.

If you are using the older app, a few things you can try a reinstalling the application, restarting your device, re-entering your credentials, etc.

I’m using the older app.   It’s now mysteriously back!  Thanks for the response

Hello, @detuch254. Thank you for your insights.

@dbolin63 we're glad to know you have Fox News back on track. For now, we recommend you to use the previous version of the DIRECTV app as a temporary fix. Remember you can try some troubleshooting steps also to solve issues with the new app, such as resetting the device, or try using the app on a different device. We're constantly working on the new app to have all features working adequately.

Don't hesitate to reach us whenever you need so, we're here to help!

I am having the same issue. I have deleted and re-downloaded the older app twice after restarting my iPad. Still not able to watch Fox News on that device. I am however able to watch it on my iPhone? What would cause this problem?

@sprocket_pma perhaps there is an issue with the tablet version right now. Can’t be so sure. You can try downloading the individual ‘Fox News’ application from your device’s App Store and signing in with DIRECTV as TV provider. 

Hello @sprocket_pma , we're here to help you to enjoy your favorite programming and channels.

Since you stated the issue is related with the old app, have you tried with the new app? if not, please try it and let us know how it goes.

Also, can you please share with us if there's any error code coming up when you try to watch Fox News? This information can give us a better understanding of the issue.

Thank you for the responses. 

There is no code but there is text. It reads as follows.

"This program is blacked out due to content restrictions. Please select another program to watch."

I will try the new app to see if there are any changes.

why are you watching fox news? just watch CNN! :)

Because people may watch what they want that is available. Naming yourself a deity does not mean you can force people to watch what you tell them.
