Note these remotes are IR control, so if you have a Gemini, be sure to un-pair the DTV remote so it emits IR commands so the new remote can "learn".

(I've done this, and had to un-pair several times)

Thanks for the catch, yes this must be done.

I’m sorry, very confused about what to get. We installed the DirecTV streaming for my mother in law with dementia. Her assisted living dropped the provided service and the only option was internet TV. It’s a small “puck” that is HDMI. Is this Gemini?

Please let me know if there is a large, simple remote we can use with this. Thanks @detuch254

Are there any large remotes or compatible remotes for the Gemini air?  My mom is 92, has dementia and macular degeneration and is extremely frustrated with the small remote that controls the streaming.

Hmm, not sure for the Gemini Air dongle as it uses a remote unique from everything else DirecTV. I would start a new thread in the correct section as this is for satellite and the Air is streaming-only, plus this discussion is from about 2 years ago.
