Screen blackout on new Samsung 50 inch tv when I put up the directv guide.

The picture on my new Samsung tv is fine but when I hit the 'guide' button on my Directv Genie Mini the screen blacks out as I am scrolling several times and acts like the receiver has lost power.  It then comes back after a few seconds but is very annoying.  I also have a Spectrum receiver hooked into the tv and this does not do this when I put up the guide.  I have checked all settings -- energy saving, etc.  but no solution.  Any thoughts?  Thanks

Thanks for reaching out @helensuvak, we are happy to help with your DIRECTV!

Approximately how many seconds does the screen go black after you hit the guide button?

For just a second or two but every time I scroll down on the guide OR put up another screen such as "Menu" or 'Settings' on the Directv remote.

I reset the DirecTV receiver and it still has the same problem.  I appreciate your help on this but I'm sure it's a Samsung problem,  not a Directv one.
