Paramount+ black screen when trying to playback

When trying to stream a program on Paramount+ I get a black screen. The app works fine on my iPhone. I’m using a Gemini streaming device

Uninstall/reinstall the app. Also--restart the device.

I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled, unplugged and plugged back in the Gemini, switched HDMI cables, cleared the app cache and data, and unplugged my modem and router. ALL other apps stream just fine, just Paramiunt+ gives me a black screen when I choose a program to watch. The app loads, I can browse and even watch previews, but if I select any program to watch (stream), all I get is a black screen. DirecTV is now telling me to contact support at Paramount+.
