How to change app startup

Used to be that starting the app would land at “Home”.  Now it starts with “Live TV Streaming” which plays whatever is on the channel it chooses. Ugh.

How do I set the app to do like it behaved before?

Thank you for responding back to us here on the forums, we are always glad to help and answer your questions. 

At the present time, there is no way to disable this feature from automatically playing when you load up the home screen from your device. While the choice of live TV may seem random, it will always be on whatever was last playing, regardless of the device used to stream.  There are also a few other controls from your settings, that you may find useful for managing your device when streaming. 

If you have more questions about your service, feel free to come back. 

As always thanks for being an AT&T customer.

Hello, @roxysol!

We're happy to help! The Live TV interface when you log in is an upgrade on the app. It takes you straight to Live TV stream but can navigate to whatever show you want to watch.

That may be but I want to know how to prevent this. As it is it’s playing a program I don’t want and if I go back to Home it continues to play, many times while the program I select from Home is also playing. Not a pleasant new feature...

There was a setting that i used to automtically launch a channel i selected at launch.  That channel is no longer available and I would either like to remove that option or change the start up channel to something else.  Can someone provide insight?  Thanks
