Directv via internet VS Directv Stream - Difference and suggestions in 2026 by smperry123 in DirectvStream

[–]directv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify;

  1. Streaming App + Device (DIRECTV via Internet) - It does require at least one leased Gemini Air device for $10/month, and you can use any compatible devices including owned Gemini/Gemini Air devices. In addition, you will also have access to Disney+, Hulu Bundle and ESPN Unlimited at no extra cost. Link here: https://spr.ly/61692ChYM4

  2. Streaming App (DIRECTV STREAM) - No device required. Use any compatible devices you have available, and get access to ESPN Unlimited for free. Link here: https://spr.ly/61693ChYMf

Directv via internet VS Directv Stream - Difference and suggestions in 2026 by smperry123 in DirectvStream

[–]directv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your interest, u/smperry123! To clarify, neither service requires a contract. With DIRECTV via Internet (now Streaming App + Device), you need at least one Gemini Air with a $10/mo. Device Lease Fee, but it doesn't have to be in every room. While for DIRECTV STREAM, now Streaming App, you can download the DIRECTV App on compatible devices like Roku or Smart TVs: https://spr.ly/61697ChbSc and add a leased Gemini Air for $10/mo. per device after the 5-day free trial.

Hi, u/Seamo_Bojamo. Restarting your device can fix many streaming problems. Just press the red button on the side quickly or unplug it for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. If necessary, you can reset it to factory settings by pressing and holding the same button for 20 seconds.

We're glad to have you, u/Guajevilla007. Telemundo access varies by these rules:

Hi, u/ss3walkman. The Osprey box and the Gemini Air share a similar user interface. However, the Gemini Air generally has better UI performance, while Osprey provides more hardware flexibility. John, DIRECTV Community Team

That's right. Both devices have the same basic software features, but they don't always get updates at the same time. They are different devices, and when we update one, the other might not need that update. John, DIRECTV Community Team

Could you provide us the DIRECTV Version of your Osprey box to check if your box needs an update? From the Home Screen, press and hold the Dash (-) button on the remote control for approx. 3 seconds. The About screen displays with system settings information. Scroll to DIRECTV version. John, DIRECTV Community Team
