Gemini Air Failures
I have had the Gemini Air for several month. It seems to have 3 repetitive failure modes:
1) Least serious: Intermittently the remote disconnects/reconnects(Bluetooth). When this happens I see no response to a command and the blue lights on the top of the remote blink slowly. After a few seconds it connects and everything is OK.
2) More serious: Upon finishing viewing a recorded program, occasionally, when I push the "dot-dot-dot" button(on the remote) to delete the recording, the "delete recording"(on the screen) does NOTHING. Repeated presses never effect a change.
3) Most serious: Every few days, after the TV and Gemini Air have been "off" overnight, when I turn them on the Gemini Air is "dead"(pretty much a blank screen). The light on the Gemini Air is "white" so it thinks it is running but it is not. a re-boot is required and everything works fine. It never fails when I am continually using the device--only when it's been "off" for many hours!

FWIW, my mom has the same problem #3 with both of her older Osprey boxes, which has been ongoing for weeks (worked fine before that). Blue screen and nothing fixes it except resetting.

Starting to wonder if I screwed up moving to the stream side. This device tells me my tv supports 4K, but it’s not on.
it is of course. 🤦♂️

I have been experiencing the same issue with my Gemini Air. After the TV and Gemini Air device are off overnight, when I turn them on the next day the screen is black/blank. I can access the Home Screen and guide but the guide does not populate and channels do not stream. After restarting the device from the menu everything works fine. But this is an extreme annoyance. Any solutions for this?

I upgraded my WiFi system about a month ago and the problem with Gemini has not recurred. So maybe Gemini needs a very robust Wifi????
