This seems to be prevalent in lots of forum comments. Is there any specific fix? It’s extremely interruptive to be watching a movie and it then switch to a program you never chose

Hello, @user_1228bf this is definitely a unique situation and not listed as a known issue. Can you tell me what troubleshooting steps you've tried to correct this issue? Is this a specific episode of Dateline or random episodes? Lastly before the episode interrupts are there any error messages or codes that pop up first?

Thank you for reaching out to us here @user_2so56o. Are you experiencing that issue with a XUMO box or one of the X1 boxes for cable service? If you are using a XUMO box have you tried turning off the default to live TV option on the Start-up and Standby settings for the Dateline 24/7 issue?

This same issue is happening to me . Frustrating. Rarely can watch a full show without it interrupting.
