Thanks for reporting, @NYN8IVE. To troubleshoot the issue where the guide menu pops up automatically when changing channels, please try the following steps:


- Restart your DIRECTV device by pressing the red button on the side of your receiver. This can resolve many common issues with the guide and channel navigation.

- Check your remote for any stuck buttons, especially the Guide or Home button, as this could cause the menu to appear unexpectedly.

- If you are using a Gemini device, consider unpairing and re-pairing your remote to refresh the connection. To do this:

* Press and hold the DASH (–) and APPS buttons until the LED blinks blue twice.

* Restart your Gemini device by pressing the red button or unplugging and plugging it back in.

* Pair the remote again by holding FAST FORWARD and REWIND together for 2-3 seconds while pointing at the device.

Thanks for prompt response I did the Red Button reset after I posted and it resolved the issue.
