Using a Non-Direct TV remote with Streaming App
Hello! I just moved my 5 TV's over to Direct Streaming from Satellite. I got the Gemini mini for 2 of the TVs, and they are doing great. I opted to download Directv Streaming App for the other 3, and now i'm having issues with remotes.
TVs; Two Sonys and 1 Hisense.
I have tried the remotes that came with each TV, and each pares fine, but the issue with each is I cannot enter in a channel # (i.e. 360, 355) to go straight to the channel. I can use the arrows to get to channels, but that takes time.
I also got 2 universal remotes (1 generic, 1 Philips) from Amazon, and each pares but they have the exact issue.
Is there a remote that will allow me to pare to the TV AND change the channel by entering in #??

Sadly, no. Only the DirecTV Stream boxes support direct channel number entry. Other streaming devices are limited by the functionality of their own remote controls.

That just saved me 40 minutes with Directv. Thank you!
