YES!! UGHHH Even "removing the channel" on my Roku and unplugging everything and then turning everything back on and reinstalling the app did not work and I've tried MULTIPLE timesssss. VERY frustrating! Internet connection is def not a problem. It's like as soon as I turn the live channel on, in less than 10 seconds, the frame freezes but the audio is still live. And that's on every channel. PLEASE HELP!

@sbcreighton I spoke w/ DirecTV Stream tech support today. Apparently they are aware of the issue and working on it but cannot provide an ETA of when it will be functioning properly again. This is ridiculous. I am looking for another provider to switch to.

The stream app keeps freezing video (audio keeps playing) after about 5 seconds of playing any show/channel. It only happens on our 4k+ devices, not on our TCL Roku TVs though. It is extremely inconvenient because the two main TVs in our house are non-functional now for almost a month. Both the Roku and Stream app are updated to the latest versions, and uninstalling/reinstalling the app or factory resetting the roku device did not resolve the issue. please help @DIRECTVhelp

We just subscribed to DS five days ago and are experiencing the “known problem” with our Roku Tv uninstall reinstall app several times last 24hrs, freezing DRV content and now unable do access service on iPad and on my Google Pixel phone.  Got a $20 credit and a promise to fix by Thursday, Nov 10.  Thankfully our RokuTv in den is hanging on and our Roku device in our bedroom.  Code 600

From other threads this seems to be an ongoing issue for months ago and not just the last few days.

I’m having the same issue. I just signed up for service, downloaded the app on my Roku and signed in. It then flickers DIRECTV stream on the screen. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, removing the Roku from the TV for over a minute, and checking and resetting the wireless connection. Does DIRECTV Stream work on Roku or do I need to cancel my service? Thanks for any help.
