IR on Remote?
1) Is the Gemini (not Gemini Air) streaming box (supplied with Frontier/Verizon service) remote capable of sending IR HEX codes to the box for all buttons?
2) I'll assume that the VOICE button requires bluetooth, but I'm not interested in that feature. So, are all the buttons (except voice) IR capable?
3) Just to be clear, I'm not interested in using the supplied remote at all, I just need the IR HEX codes that each button sends so I can send them from another device.
4) Does Direct TV publish the IR HEX codes as many companies do? This is not a deal breaker, it saves me the time of having to learn each button.

Hi @AVGeek. DIRECTV does not publish IR HEX codes, though its standardized signals allow most generic or third-party universal control systems to easily operate the Gemini streaming box right out of their pre-existing equipment databases. Melchisedec, DIRECTV Community Team

Is the remote configured for IR or Bluetooth out of the box?
Does the remote need to be paired (bluetooth) for the initial set-up or can you set-up without pairing.
I read somewhere that if you press two specific buttons, that unpairs the remote and makes it IR only. Can you confirm that procedure and the buttons?

The remote is configured for IR right out of the box., Second, you must pair the remote during the initial setup for the buttons to function properly. And lastly, to change the remote to IR mode, press and hold the Dash (-) and Apps (or Diamond) keys simultaneously. The LEDs on both sides will blink blue once. Continue holding for about 3 seconds until the LEDs blink blue two more times, confirming successful unpairing. Once in this mode, pressing any key will flash a combination of blue and red LEDs on each side, which creates a purple glow. Melchisedec, DIRECTV Community Team
