What's the best remote OTHER THAN a Gemini for Direct TV Live TV streaming service? (Don't want to pay $120/year for a REMOTE!!!

Hi, We have two TVs and got one Gemini system and remote, which works well but as noted, it's $120/year for that system.

Why no PiP?

I know this has been asked before but it's worth asking again. Why doesn't DirecTV Stream offer picture in picture and/or multi-view? Every other service has it and they are losing customers because they fail to offer it. It should also be made available on Android so that TV stays running in a floa
