Is there a way to call up programing basted on the Alexa
Is there a way to call programming using an Alexa device? Right now all I can do is change the volume. I have been LG OLED65CXPUA that has Alexa internally. I also have a Sonos arc Soundbar that also has Alexa internally.

Hi @amerifax Happy to help you!
To use Alex with DIRECTV and use voice commands like search guide, change the channel, and more, it's is necessary to to meet some requirements
1. Your LG TV and Genie receiver should be connected to the same network. Press the right arrow twice on your DIRECTV remote. If the DIRECTV interactive TV app list appears, you are connected.
2. Go to the Alexa App or Alexa Website
3. Do one of the following:
- In the Alexa App, tap the menu Icon, then Music, Video, & books, and then DIRECTV.
-In either the Alexa site, select skills, then search, and then enter DIRECTV to find the skill.
4. Choose Enable and follow the prompts. If you have multiple accounts, select DIRECTV.
5. Select Finish set up and let Alexa find your nearby DIRECTV devices. This can take up to 20 seconds.
6. Pick DIRECTV device you want to set up. Find out which DIRECTV device you have
7. Choose 1 or more Alexa devices to use with the selected DIRECTV device.
8. Select Set up a DIRECTV device to connect another DIRECTV device to a different Alexa device. Or, use the back button to return to your DIRECTV settings.
Heads up! In case the steps do not work, It means you will need an Alexa Echo, Dot, or Tap device. However, since you have the app integrated on your TV, these steps might help you to connect it with your DIRECTV receiver.
