Auto extend failed on every game of the Baseball playoffs and World Series that went over 3 hours. Completely and utterly frustrating! It also failed Sunday, 11/17 on the 49er/Seahawks game. I seem to recall it also happened on Sharks NHL game, but

I have 2 questions: 1. Do I need Google ANYTHING to use the voice option on DirectTV? Some FAQs imply yes, others seem to indicate Google Assistant is only needed for access to Google Apps.

All, Final resolution.... Yesterday the replacement remote showed up. I unpaired the original and paired the new one. Disappointingly, but not totally surprising - it had the same problem. From this, I determined the problem HAD to be a software

Yes. That was part of the troubleshooting procedure with Tech Support. He had me unpair it and then pair it. Also, you can check to see if you're paired and it confirms I am paired.
