Trouble with direct TV stream background audio and video

Jump to solution

Having a odd problem with directtv stream on Roku. When I go to library/guide normally in the background you can hear and see a little bit. but it suddenly has stopped. If I delete the app and come back it will return shortly for 30 mins and then go away again. I've searched high and low everywhere. Is there a hidden cache somewhere. I really love this feature on my Roku TV 65 inch.
