Channels sowly or not popping in on gemini air device

Why do channels sometimes take a long time to pop in? Sometimes seconds upto minutes before coming on. After unplugging and plugging it back in it works fine for a day or to then starts up again. I have a newer Samsung tv. also does same on lg tv.

Directv TV apps aren't reliable. You'd be better off buying an external device like a Gemini device, Firestick, Roku, or Apple tv. I have a Gemini box, Gemini Air and a Roku and the channel change is almost instantaneous.

I have gemini air connected to hdmi so I go directly through the gemini air setup using the direct tv remotes.  I guess I have a wifi problem causing the direct tv streaming to get muddled up so I have to reboot sometimes, all though my Tmobile says I am at 250 mbps

Sorry, I thought you meant you are using the Samsung TV Directv app b/c you didn't mention any other device. Yah--there's an issue with your internet. The upload speed has a lot to do with channel changing as well. I have T mobile home internet as well (I use Mediacom for my Dtv Stream though) ....My upload speed on my T mobile is very slow usually around 1 to 4mb even though my download speed is always around 300.
