3rd Gemini Air in three months and this one is failing

We are on our 3rd Gemini Air in four months and this one is also failing. It is constantly buffering even though our network is very strong. Fire sticks with the DirecTV app do not buffer.

Volume jumps in the middle of programming

I signed up for DirecTV last month so I could cancel my Verizon FiOS service. I had thought that DirecTV was known for having the best audio and video compared to the competing services. However, the volume jumps in the middle of TV shows are incredibly annoying; this bug will be a deal-breaker for

Start of recording

Start all recordings at least 15 seconds before the scheduled time and extend the recording 15 seconds past the scheduled end. Some local stations seem not to have the clocks synced correctly.
