Confused about DirecTV Hardware Choice
I'm interested in ordering DirecTV satellite service. I prefer that over the streaming service, because I already have a DirecTV dish on my roof (service with that dish ended in 2019).
I'm confused, however, about the choice of hardware available: Gemini Receiver or Standard DirecTV Receiver. My understanding is the Standard DirecTV Receiver would be the H54 Genie (or something similar) and the Gemini line is a streaming-only solution. Is there somewhere where I could find more information about what the exact hardware would be with both choices?

DTV is only installing the HS17 Genie2 that is a client only system and doesn't connect to any TV, 7 tuners hard capped and a 2 TB hard drive. The C71KW Gemini is a client when installed on a sat system but can stream from streaming services apps without having to change the TV's input/source using the internet provided the HS17 is connected to the internet.

Hi, @nico8516. I appreciate your interest. I see that your question has been answered by @shannon02. DIRECTV dish might need to be changed or realigned. Visit https://www.directv.com/support/article/000091357 to learn more about the Gemini device. Sean, DIRECTV Community Specialist
