The RC73 remote is unable to be used with a Roku or Fire Stick device with DIRECTV STREAM/BYOD. If you wish to use a remote that directly goes from one channel to another, consider purchasing the Gemini Air receiver which comes with the RC82V remote. This will offer you a more cable-like experience. The Gemini Air can be purchased directly through the DIRECTV website or third-party websites such as Solid Signal.

Only DirecTV Stream boxes can tune directly to specific channel numbers.

As far as I know “DirecTV Bring your own device” (also known as DIRECTV Stream) subscribers cannot get devices from DirecTV - they reserve that ability for “DirecTV via Internet” subscribers. Others can get used Gemini (Osprey) units from eBay for reasonable prices. I’ve only seen a couple of listings for the Gemini Air (dongle) devices and the pricing was way high.
