On your Roku remote, press Home 3x, Up 2x, then Left, Right, Left, Right, Left.

When the Channel Menu Screen appears, scroll down the list and find the channel (DirectTV) and select "Remove".

Then restart the Roku device (Settings/System/Power/System Restart) and then perform a Search for the channel/app on your Roku device and install it from the device. (do not use the online Streaming Store).  The channel/app should hopefully now be visible on the Home Screen again.
