Need to get a remote for streaming

I am using DirectTV Stream via my Samsung TV app. What remote do I need to buy. I don’t think I need the set top box, right? Just a DirectTV Stream remote to make using it easier.

You'll need to use your Samsung TV remote control. The DirecTV Stream box remote control only works with the Stream box. Likewise, if you use a Roku or FireStick, you'll need to use their remote controls. Nice thing about the DirecTV Stream box and its remote control is that you can enter channel numbers directly. 

By the way, how is the Samsung DirecTV Stream App working for you?  Lots of folks here are having issues with it.
