DirecTV Streaming BYOD DVR function
I see various discussions/comments regarding the DVR function for BYOD. Does the DVR function come along with the subscription or are there additional charges? I will likely use an Apple TV4 & 4K for my devices. If I buy a Gemini-AIR from a 3d party does that change anything at all regarding my subs

Remote channel changing issues
I just received the new Gemini dongle receiver yesterday and everything works fine but I cannot channel jump. In other words I can only change channels with guide or channel lever control.

How do you force quit the DIRECTV app?
I have DIRECTV Stream service and I use the DIRECTV app on my TCL smart TV to watch my streaming channels. The DIRECTV app seems to freeze fairly regularly and once it does none of the buttons on the remote can get you out. How can I force quit the app and restart it?

How to Stop Series Recording via Browser or the App
I am away from home for several weeks, and wish to stop the "series recording" of a particular show. It was possible at home, using the Gemini box, but I cannot find a way to do that via browser access on my laptop, nor via the DirecTV Stream app on my iPad. Thanks for any pointers. Bill Halberstadt
