Directv Gemmni box.

I don't understand why I can't change my plan from a byod plan without canceling. I don't want to cancel just to get a box. Is there no way to just add a monthly fee to my account and send me the box's?

We appreciate you bringing your questions to us. When you're acquiring a DIRECTV via Internet account we run a credit check since we start a leasing agreement and a 24-month contract including a price lock for the same time. A device leased under this contract gets an unlimited-time warranty and tech support. For this reason, we cannot simply migrate an account. If you're interested in changing your DIRECTV STREAM to DIRECTV via Internet just let us know, and we will be ready to help. DIRECTV appreciates your loyalty. Claudia, DIRECTV Community Specialist

DIRECTV via Internet is the same content you know and love with the best advantages of our DIRECTV via Satellite service, including the Gemini device. Claudia, DIRECTV Community Specialist

I would love to do that. Would I still need to cancel my account? And would I still be able to use the Directtv app on my smart TV? I want to use this in a garage setup with multiple TVs. Even if It doesn't I would like to go through with this.

To switch your account from DIRECTV STREAM to DIRECTV via Internet, we need to cancel your previous account. However, you won't be able to access the DIRECTV app on your TV. Instead, you will need to use the Gemini device or On-the-go mobile DIRECTV app for mobile devices. If you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. At DIRECTV, we are always here to help you. Haendel, DIRECTV Community Specialist
