Why no demos available ?

I don’t understand why Directv satellite doesn’t have a demo video on how the service works. Dealers are now almost extinct makes buying into satellite tv difficult.

I went to Youtube, there is a LOT of stuff on the streaming service, next most prevalent is using the remote and then setup.

BUT!

The "official" Directv channel (youtube) has virtually NO "how to use" videos I can see, and would love to be pointed to one in case I missed them.

Virtually all the "'tutorial" and "how to" stuff is NOT on the official Youtube channel.

Please correct me if I have missed these videos, with a link please.

So to the OP, I get your point!

I have looked everywhere and can find no demos of the satellite service. 
I would like to see the new Gemini boxes running with the Genie 2, if this is the recommended setup.

How does the channel guide look, what about the dvr ?

it’s very difficult to make a decision on a 2 year contract without seeing something beforehand.

@gregeusa is right. Our official social media accounts don't have a specific video demo on all the technicalities of a Gemini connected to a Genie 2, but there are a lot of content creators who do brilliant reviews of it! We love the idea of having demos for our products and equipment, and we'll share this with our marketing team for further review. You can also visit https://spr.ly/61219BBDCcH and search for a topic you want to know more about to help you decide on the upgrade. John, DIRECTV Community Team
