All of a sudden some of the apps eg apple, starz, paramount are buffering constantly. It is not a network issue as apps on the lgtv itself work perfectly. Just annoying to have to keep switching remotes. I have rebooted everything including the Gemini and it’s still buffering. Netflix works fine in

Record first-run episodes of a series only
We have DirecTV Satelilte at another location. With my DTV Stream here, I do not get the choice of whether to record first-run episodes. If I choose a series - for example NCIS - my Stream records every episode of NCIS repeats on any channel in addition to the first-run. That means, I have to go bac

Streaming is always having issues
The stream app on my Smart tv will lose connection multiple times a day. Live sports come in blurry and lag. This is not an internet issue, because all my other apps work perfectly. This is the most frustrating experience. Thinking about changing streaming services.

Arranging apps on carousel
Just got DirectV Stream, using Gemini Air (switched from U-VerseTV). For the most part I’m enjoying it but I can’t believe there’s no way to arrange the apps in the app carousel. Seems like such a basic feature. Both Roku and the LG SmartTV have it.

Guide Navigation Suggestion
On Roku OS, I noticed that a few other apps will allow you to move up & down a PAGE at a time by using the FF & RW buttons.

Manual padding/start/end times
I used to have DirecTV satellite now I have DirecTV streaming it's really frustrating that now when I record a show it cuts off the end of every show because there is no manual padding or manual start and end times. It would be wonderful if DirecTV could figure out a way to add the manual padding op

Fast Forward Issue
We just switched from Xfinity to Directv. When we fast forwarded through commercials in Xfinity, after we pressed stop, xfinity would automatically reverse from that point about 6 seconds or so. Directv doesn't do this, which means whenever we stop it, we always miss some of the show or game we are
