New Remote Control for Gemini

The new remote I'm a little disappointed the ergonomic shape feel is not like the old one and lights don't stay on long or brite enough. When pick up the control the doesn't come on

You can use the older satellite DIRECTV peanut shaped remote with it so long as you are in IR mode.   Only thing you lose is voice control.

The RC7X remotes should work in RF.

Interesting.  I was never able to pair one with the stream box.

Since the Gemini uses Bluetooth the DTV streaming version software may not have the RF enabled where the DTV sat version does.  The RC8X remotes use all three IR,RF and Bluetooth.
