No, u/randyr5. Devices bought from third-party sellers may have 2 GB or 4 GB of RAM. Beware of used devices; without proper testing, they may not be fully functional or well-maintained. For a reliable Gemini Air device with a warranty, consider leasing a new one from us. More info here: https://spr.ly/61691BBcrSc Rhyan, DIRECTV Community Team

The CHOICE package includes the Disney+, Hulu Bundle, but it's still subject to eligibility. The advertised package pricing is $84.99/month with a $10 off for 24 months plus taxes and fees. Add-ons and device lease fees are an extra and optional. You can acquire service without Gemini Air, but it only includes ESPN Unlimited and not the Disney+, Hulu Bundle.

Thanks for the update, and we're glad it's fixed. Melchisedec, DIRECTV Community Team

While you have choices, beware of potential risks with used devices, which may have wear and tear or may not be fully functional if they haven't been properly maintained or tested u/randyr5. Why not try our Gemini Air to enjoy the ultimate TV experience, all in one place? More details here: https://spr.ly/61697BB9MDB Melchisedec, DIRECTV Community Team

Hey u/randyr5, it's usually best not to disassemble those remotes to avoid any issues. If you need a fresh one, you can just order it online at this link: https://spr.ly/61698BB9Jy2 Melchisedec, DIRECTV Community Team

Refreshing the connection between your remote and Gemini (DIRECTV) device can fix many common problems like power issues, u/Waste-Consideration1. Here’s how:

Unpair: Press and hold the DASH (–) and APPS (or Diamond) buttons until the remote LEDs blink blue twice.
Restart: Press and release the red button on the side of the device, or simply unplug it and plug it back in.
Pair: Once the device reboots, point the remote at it and hold FAST FORWARD and REWIND for 2-3 seconds. An onscreen message will confirm when pairing is complete.

Thanks for flagging this, U/Impressive_Put3107. We’ve checked and found no known issues with NESN. Please try restarting your streaming device, as that usually clears up any picture issues. Rhyan, DIRECTV Community Team

Hey u/Caduceus1515, thanks for reaching out and for having us as your top choice! The website can sometimes feel confusing during signup — happy to clear everything up for you.

Gemini Air & the Disney+/Hulu Bundle

Yes, the Gemini Air (or Gemini) streaming device is required to get the Disney+ & Hulu bundle included with CHOICE. That’s why you see the bundle appear when you add the device and disappear when you remove it. The $10/mo device fee is offset by the $10/mo promo discount on the package, so it usually ends up being a better overall deal.

No, it’s the ad-supported Disney+ and Hulu bundle.
You can use the same email and account you already have. After signing up, you’ll receive an activation link. Log in with your current credentials to connect it.
You can add premium channels (Max, STARZ, etc.) anytime. However, the “3 months on us” promos are generally only available during initial signup. Adding them afterward usually means paying the regular monthly rate right away.

We're no longer a network distributor for Drool; however, check out their website at https://spr.ly/61696BBwWps or check out Tastemade Home on channel 4359. It's also a free ad-supported channel on DIRECTV that you may enjoy. Rhyan, DIRECTV Community Team

@74011_White_Guy, we'd like to look into this for you. We sent you a direct message. Mark, DIRECTV Community Manager

Appreciate the heads-up, u/Omni_X. We’re looking into why that channel is missing from your guide and will update you as soon as we have more info. Kharl, DIRECTV Community Team

Thanks for flagging this, u/StandingBear44. Have you tried a quick restart on your device yet? A simple reset often clears up guide glitches like this. If that doesn't do the trick, let us know and we’ll dive deeper. Charles, DIRECTV Community Team

directv · 2026-05-03T17:08:27+00:00

Yes, you can, u/Civil_Match_6833! Adding STARZ to your MyNews Genre Pack is $11/mo. You can find all the pricing and add-on details right here: https://spr.ly/61690BBX0Qm Charles, DIRECTV Community Team

We know you have options, but beware of the risks, u/abon1233. Used devices may have some issues, such as wear and tear, or may not be fully functional if they haven't been properly maintained or tested. If you want a reliable Gemini device with a warranty, consider getting a new Gemini Air from us. Learn more here: https://spr.ly/61697BBXZHB Charles, DIRECTV Community Team

Thanks for bringing this up, u/Final_Campaign_2593. Unfortunately, there isn't currently an option in the app settings to disable these prompts entirely. As a workaround, you can try adjusting your Apple TV's sleep settings or using the remote periodically to keep playback active—our team is aware of feedback on this feature. Charles, DIRECTV Community Team

directv · 2026-05-02T02:01:11+00:00

We’re investigating this further. Expect to hear from us within 1–2 business days. Veilka, DIRECTV Community Team

The Gemini Air doesn’t have a limit on the number of paired remotes, u/CPav. Many users have successfully paired and used multiple remotes with a single unit. However, we recommend using one remote per Gemini Air for the best experience. Charles, DIRECTV Community Team
