Gemini Limitations?

I have DirecTV satellite and just added a Gemini device. Everything is fine for one TV but I have come to understand only this one TV can take advantage of the streaming option Gemini offers. I questioned DirecTV tech support on why I can't get streaming channels on my other TVs that are on the same network and they didn't have the answers I am looking for. If there is a way to get streaming over to my other 3 TVs I would like to know how that can happen.

The Gemini is the first and only DirecTV box that can download streaming apps. It cannot share that with the other boxes. It is like a Roku, Firestick, etc. as only provides it to the TV it is connected to.

The On Demand channels that show in the guide should be available on all boxes as that is delivered by the main Genie being connected to internet. That is shareable as is specifically provided by DirecTV service.

The Gemini is just another mini client with the ability to stream apps so like all minis it can only output to the TV it is connected to.  If the TVs are new enough you may be able to download the streaming apps to them otherwise you need a streaming device connected to them.
