New Disney + Bundle with ESPN, Hulu

I have an original Gemini box, will it work to qualify for the bundle? I'm being told that I have to purchase a new Geminin Air device in order to recieve the Bundle. If this is true, why doesn't DirecTV be more specific in their announcement??

Where did you get the Gemini box? Both the box and Air qualify for the bundle but it depends on if you got them directly from Directv or not. If you go to the Directv website and sign in to your account then to go the my devices area---if it's listed then you are good to go.

I have an original Gemini box purchased through AT&T back when Directv Stream was AT&T Stream. It is listed in the my devices area on the website. I do not have the option to activate Disney+ Hulu. I did get authorized for the the relatively useless ESPN app. Directv really does need to clarify if the bundle will be available on the box, but they are probably hoping that people with buy the air device in the meantime.

I should add: The DirecTV website does state: "ESPN Unlimited will be added over the next few weeks starting August 21, with Disney+ and Hulu Bundle following shortly after." So, may be that Disney+ Hulu has not been added yet. I will wait and see before spending money on the Air device.

Disney plus and Hulu activation emails don't start going out til Sept 1.  And both Gemini devices are eligible. Box and Air. The email info says you must have "a Gemini device"

In addition, I have two different Streaming accounts. One has the Gemini Box and one has the Gemini Air. The account with the Gemini Air received the activation email approx. 2 weeks ago and works great. The Gemini Box account hasn't recieved any communications regarding the bundle. DirecTV customer service told me that you need a Gemini Air device for the Bundle.

I received the activation email for Hulu/Disney+ bundle instantly after leasing the Gemini Air,I purchased one off of eBay which apparently won’t work. ESPN Unlimited activation email was received today.

@retlawohs received an email activation for what? ESPN unlimited? That's normal but the Disney plus and Hulu activation emails don't go out until Sept 1. I have a Gemini box and got the info email a few weeks ago saying I was getting ESPN unlimited, Hulu and Disney Plus for free. I spoke with live chat last week and had them send me the ESPN unlimited activation email.  Look under your Gemini box's settings--account--add ons and see if ESPN unlimited is there. If it is--you can do live chat and have them send out the ESPN unlimited activation email for the box ......By the way you wouldn't even need an activation email for both box and air you can just use your login credentials from the Air to use with the apps on the box.

@Elias1988 Yah newer customers are getting the Hulu/Disney plus activation emails quicker.
