Pressing DOWN on the roku remote use to bring up the guide. However that stopped working as of this morning. Directv App Build 3750102 Version 3.34.

Now to get to the guide you have to hit the Back button, then select guide (multiple button presses).

I created a thread on the ATT/DirecTV Stream Forums:

There is also a Reddit thread:

Same here. I can not work around this. Sucks because I can't channel surf as efficiently now. If anyone figures out how to get this function back or **bleep** effectively to Roku to bring it back, let us know here.

@alec_f1, Roku has absolutely nothing to do with how the DirecTV app works. You need to take it up with DirecTV or AT&T or whoever AT&T unloads DirecTV on.

Our Roku Voice Remotes both failed to bring up the guide when pressing the "down" button. The problem is the same on 3 televisions (2 Sony, 1 LG), all using DirecTV Streaming, 2 with Roku Stick and 1 with Roku soundbar.

When pressing down button to bring up guide nothing happens, but soundbar LED flickers the same as when any other button is pressed and all other buttons work. To get the guide, must use "back" button in upper left of remote.

All TVs and devices functioning normally prior to yesterday. Power off cycle on TV and streambar failed to fix. Batteries removed and replaced failed to fix. Must be Roku problem as everything else functions normally, just a pain in the **bleep**. like when they change my screen wallpaper without asking (repeatedly).
