Direct TV up and coming movie guide by the time i.e. movie from 2:00 to 4:00, next time slot another movie from 4:00 to 5:00 and so on.

How can I see what movies will be playing later on in the day or evening. It appears that I can only see what is playing at the moment and not what will be playing, when and the length of the upcoming movies.

I've been using DirectTV streaming over Gemini for a couple weeks now and here are some thoughts about the user interface & the remote, along with suggested fixes, that I've encountered. The Gemini Air remote has black buttons on a black cover--difficult to see in a darkened room while watching TV.

No FF or REW, skip weirdness with Apple TV 4K box
