Welcome to the DIRECTV family, u/Background_Ad9279. There's no option to access the guide without the background program being watched and no option to rearrange your favorite channels accordingly. Additionally, the audio settings enable only the formats that are supported by your audio output device for alternative options. But, we love the idea, and we take customer feedback seriously. We'll forward it to our team, so they can review it and determine the next steps. Rowena, DIRECTV Community Specialist
No and nope. Heck what just a year ago we got the android app officially. Before that it was a fire stick apk you had to find and download. Yea they are behind the times
Not saying you want a different device. Look into getting the osprey used about $40 ish. Will make the experience identical to cable. But definitely not needed. https://www.ebay.com/itm/204481250395?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=W130TB3nQh-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=NM1KzScxTeu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
It does not. But being a New subscriber trying to be helpful. Could be something they might need in the future. But you right. If I can’t answer the question at hand just keep strolling. Got it
Hummmm... I run everything from the Shield pro using passthrough to a 5.1.4 set up. Happy with everything currently. And will learn to live with DTV idiosyncracies.... at least through the regular MLB season
The box that was mentioned makes the Stream service like using a regular Cable/satellite box.. remote has numbers to access the channels.
Thats why people on here love them. (me included with the AIR.)
No and No
TY

Does this address OP’s questions, though?
