Genres and Filters Side Bar

Suddenly when skipping forward once you're caught up to live tv, the Genres and Filters sidebar appears on the right side of the screen. It does  not go away until you press the exit button. This is very annoying. How can I stop this?

Ok, Menu>settings>system>television >last viewed guide state>disable. Then power cycle the box.

No luck!  If I press the "next" button when I've caught up to live tv, I still get a message telling me to check that genres and filters (what I JUST disabled!) is enabled.  Verizon...please fix you last update!!!

What APR version is your box on? Does it do it with ALL boxes in the house?

Thanks.

We have APR-6.9 and yes it is happening on both boxes.

I'll send it up to the support folks and see what they come up with.

Thanks!  Might also want them to know the interface on this forum doesn't work well either.  It takes me multiple tries to submit my responses.  I usually get an error message, an unexpected error has occurred or it tells me to fix the highlighted area before posting, but there's nothing highlighted or missing.  Verizon's just not liking me!! 🤣

Thanks again!!

The word I received was it's a known issue and is fixed in the next update, coming soon to a box near you! So hang in and it will be fixed. Sorry I dont have something immediate.

Last I heard, maybe end of the month, but that may be a vicious rumor.

Yes, it is annoying. Thanks for pursuing an answer.

Nope, that was a cure worse than the disease. Now that smaller pop-up comes on the screen more often than the Genres and Filters thing. COME ON VERIZON> FIX THIS!!!

They actually want me to sign a new 2 year contract. Jeez!

not one single tech person at Verizon knew this or even heard of "Genres and Filters!" Thanks. I hope this does it.
