Directv Streaming: using phone as a remote via VPN
I have Directv streaming with a C71KW-400 receiver. Is there a way to use my phone as a remote? Can I do so remotely via VPN? This is for my father, who has a hard time operating the remote on his own.

Hi @directeagle. No, you can't use the mobile app as a remote option for Gemini. However, you can use Google Assistant to control your devices. Learn more at DIRECTV Gemini Voice Remote Control | DIRECTV Support.

Thanks. Is Gemini the name of this receiver? Is there anything I can do, like add on equipment, to enable using the mobile app as a remote. My elderly father isn't able to use Google assistant.

Yes, it's Gemini, and only the DIRECTV remote can control the Gemini device, no other remote or add-on equipment works with it. Charles, DIRECTV Community Team
