Long Delay When Changing Channel

I have DirectTV Stream and use the C71KW-400 box from ATT.

There is a 10-25 second delay when changing channels.  The problem is the same on 7 different TVs and boxes.

Internet speed via ethernet is 240 Mbps on TV

I have done the following:

- Checked System Update

- Performed Restart

- Performed Factory Reset

None of this works.  Can anyone help with a recomendation?

Appreciate your efforts in trying to fix the channel change delay, @TexasToIndiana. It seems like your DIRECTV App's cache and data need to be refreshed. Try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Open Settings: Press the Home button on your DIRECTV remote, then navigate to the Settings gear icon

2. Show System Apps: Scroll down to the bottom of the list and select Show system apps.
3. Locate DIRECTV: Find and click on the DIRECTV application.

4. Clear cache and data. Doing so will require you to log back in.
5. Finally, perform a power cycle by unplugging the power cable of your Gemini device and re-plugging it after 30 seconds.
