I have a Samsung television and until today, Apple TV worked just fine. I just attempted to watch a show and it is only showing in the upper right corner of the screen. I have reset Apple TV and powered it down. Nothing seems to correct the problem. I have DirecTV stream and primarily use that controller for the tv. Any ideas?
Is the other content you see on the screen coming from your Samsung TV, or your Apple TV set top box. That is how you would determine the source of the Picture in Picture feature you are seeing and where you would have to turn if off.
The Apple TV set top box supports PIP, but the other content of the screen would be content from your Apple TV. The options for changing that are available here:

I don't believe DirecTV Stream initiates PIP itself, but your Samsung TV most certainly does and would be able to display both it's own Samsung TV content or that of DirecTV on the main screen, while showing a PIP window of the Apple TV content in any corner. If that is what you are seeing then turning off PIP on your Samsung TV depends on the model and that feature may also be mapped to the DirecTV remote control if that is what you are using..
I had to change the resolution from 1080i to 1080p within DirecTV and that seemed to correct it. No idea how that was changed before.
Try log out and log back in. I think that worked.
Thank you for your reply. I tried that and PIP was OFF on the Samsung. I toggled it just to make sure. I reset the Apple app. Again and I’m still having the same problem.
Got phone help from Apple. Used my Apple TV box and remote and ithe screen size is working properly now. Thanks for trying to help.
