Gemini air performance issues

I have noticed 2 problems.

First when scanning the channels the device life seems to freeze and I have to release the channel button and press again to get it started again.

Also during a broadcast, the picture will be interrupted and it will flash a blank screen with the channel logo and info before returning to live tv.

Any suggestions ?

Regarding the blank screen flash with just the channel number and information and then returning to live TV -- this has been mentioned numerous times on the Reddit DirecTV Stream thread.  There is also a low volume audio issue involving Gemini equipment.  DirecTV engineers are reportedly working on both issues.

@DR0719

Are connected Directly to a HDMI port on your tv? or connected directly to a Home Theater Receiver? F you connect direct to a Smart Tv - go into the TV setup and find your TV's HDMI Settings and set the one or all connected to the Air to Enhanced.  If your using a home theater receiver you would need to do the same on the HDMI port. 

as well has having HDMI Cables that are 2.1

I wanted to thank everyone for helping me.

Unfortunately, after trying all of your suggestions, the problems remain.

I assume this is a Gemini air performance issue.

We have an issue with the Gemini air as well.  TV connects to internet fine, but won't connect to the Gemini air "dongle".  We've been to customer service 3 times.  All very helpful but it won't connect properly.  As an added problem....This means we're unable to use the direct TV remote...must use the Tv's regular remote.  We've reset, rebooted, re done, re everything but no connection.  We are going to request to have a dish instead.  Can someone on here from Direct TV help me with the proper steps to do so.  We have 6 "dongles" and 6 remotes and we just need to move on from this current streaming idea...it simply doesn't work.
