Customer Owned C71KW for D* Stream

Is there a monthly charge for purchasing my own additional C71KW's for D* Stream.  D* rep telling me $7, but someone who has 3 of these purchased 6 months ago directly from D* not being charged additional receiver fee.

That just depends on how you signed up for Directv Stream.  If when you signed up they provided a free Gemini device to you then you will have to pay the fee.  If you signed up and purchased your C71KW through Directv or bought it through a third party. Then buying another and adding it to your account will not cause you any fees.

Customer signed up for the service providing a single free dongle/remote.  Interested in adding 2 customer owned C71KW's/remotes.   If I am understanding correctly, since I am purchasing these directly, no monthly charge for adding these to the service.

All I can tell you is I am not 100% sure.  I have Directv Stream with no fees.  So I am not 100% sure about the fees for Directv Stream Via Internet which is what it sounds like they have.  From what I understand you pay a fee for every Gemini Device that Directv provides.  But since they are customer-owned I am not sure if there would be a fee or not.  But I think it would be no different than using another device such as a Roku or Fire Stick and I do not believe they charge a fee for using those.
