What to do if you unable change Direct TV Channel

" Looking for Easy Solution for your Direct TV Channel problems? "

You are stuck on a particular DIRECTV channel and you cannot move to another channel.

Possible Causes:

Your remote control isn't operating the receiver. You may be trying to select a channel that isn't displayed in the on-screen guide or in the favorites list you have invoked.

You may be trying to go to a channel that is locked out. Your receiver's Channel Lock feature may be active.

Solution:

To see if the problem is with your remote control, go to the receiver and use the channel up/down buttons on the receiver itself. If you can change your channels with the buttons on the receiver, the batteries in your remote control probably need to be changed.

If you can't change channels from the receiver, turn off the receiver. Then unplug it for at least 15 seconds. Plug the receiver back it and turn it on. Again, try changing channels from the receiver itself.

Tune to a channel, and while programming is playing, try tuning to the missing channel by entering the channel number on the remote control keypad to see if channels change. Do not try to select the channel from a channel list, program guide, or favorites list.

If this approach takes you to the correct channel, you need to adjust your favorites list function. Press the "guide" button on your remote. Look for a button on your remote called "fav" or "list." Press it several times and watch for an indication at the top of the guide that you are moving from "all channels" to a particular favorites list.

If you are locked on one channel only, your Channel Lock feature is likely active. Consult your owner's manual to unlock the rest of your channels. See your owner's manual for information on managing favorite channel lists and locking out channels. Enter your password, if necessary.
