Explain this Gemini air device. You mean it's not just an app on your Roku/Fire interface?
It looks like this and plugs into one of your tv's hdmi slots like a Roku or Firestick would. It comes with a remote that looks like this:
You are required to get one of these in order to have DirecTV stream, but you can add the app to as many other devices (Roku, Fire, Smart TV, etc.) as you want with no additional receiver costs.
I may be wrong about being required to have one Gemini air device. It's required for me, but it might have something to do with the package and rewards I received when I signed up.
I just looked it up. It is not required for DirectTV Stream. What you have is DirectTV Internet. The perk is the remote. The downside is the Gemini is $15/month and you need one for each TV.
I'd probably go with the straight DirectTV Stream instead.
What you all need to do is get the best possible internet you can at your location and then find a hookup for a super super not illegal at all app for your firestick.
I have about 15,000 live tv channels and probably another 20,000 movies and tv shows for $200 a year.

I pay $8 a month for the Gemini. I can watch DirecTV Stream on other devices and TVs without the Gemini as well. I just don't have the remote with all the shortcuts like guide, previous, home, numbers, etc.
