Gemini Satellite
I upgraded to a Gemini from a Genie mini. The picture quality is terrible after the switch. It was perfect before. It is hard wired to coax using an ethernet adapter. The colors are washed out and there is a lot of picture noise and most of the channels are not sharp. I've been with directv over 20

Direct tv Gemini app issues
All of a sudden some of the apps eg apple, starz, paramount are buffering constantly. It is not a network issue as apps on the lgtv itself work perfectly. Just annoying to have to keep switching remotes. I have rebooted everything including the Gemini and it’s still buffering. Netflix works fine in

We have DirecTV Satelilte at another location. With my DTV Stream here, I do not get the choice of whether to record first-run episodes. If I choose a series - for example NCIS - my Stream records every episode of NCIS repeats on any channel in addition to the first-run. That means, I have to go bac

Streaming is always having issues
The stream app on my Smart tv will lose connection multiple times a day. Live sports come in blurry and lag. This is not an internet issue, because all my other apps work perfectly. This is the most frustrating experience. Thinking about changing streaming services.

Arranging apps on carousel
Just got DirectV Stream, using Gemini Air (switched from U-VerseTV). For the most part I’m enjoying it but I can’t believe there’s no way to arrange the apps in the app carousel. Seems like such a basic feature. Both Roku and the LG SmartTV have it.

Guide Navigation Suggestion
On Roku OS, I noticed that a few other apps will allow you to move up & down a PAGE at a time by using the FF & RW buttons. These buttons do nothing (in the guide) in the DTV app. Moving up & down in the guide a PAGE at a time is helpful and would be nice to have in the DTV app. Thanks for so many o
