GEMIMI

Received Gemini box on January 5th and connected to Samsung Q80BD.  A new Gemini is arriving today.  The problem has been when I turn the TV on the resolution is top right of TV will say 640x480 and I will either get a black screen with sound or a picture with sound but I can not change the channel or use guide or list.  If I do a quick reboot it will work perfectly with a resolution of 3840x2160 as long as I keep the TV. We thought we had it fixed and it worked perfectly for the past week and now the problem is back again.  I have had tech service people here and purchased their HDMI wire.  Any ideas.

Posted earlier that my Gemini Box resolution changes to 640x480 from 3840 when turned off.  Just installed a new box and the problem is still here.  Now I get a message that says "The connect device (HDMI:DirectV) is on but displaying a black screen.  Please check the device."

I had the same problem which I dealt with for 3 months.  I have a Samsung Q60.  If you have a Samsung you need to disable Samsung TV plus.

Thanks for that @Clementpb. Yes, I also have a Samsung tv and the problem I have is exactly as you described in your original post You would think DIRECTV tech support would be aware of this problem. When I called with the issue they just sent me a replacement Gemini box and it didn’t solve the problem. I just disabled Samsung TV plus. I’m guessing if that solved the problem for you it will do the same for me. I don’t use it anyway. Thanks again!!
