Comparison on streaming options stream vs Gemini options
First x I’m moving to a new home with a Hoa that said I couldn’t install my satellite dish. But someone in this group sent me an fcc OTARD that said the Hoa can’t do that . I sent that in and of course they said they never heard of it but would look into it and get back to me. They reversed course and approved it. So thanks to this group.
second I’ve been giving it second thoughts since I have 1 gb wireless service and at times use the direct tv streaming via my roku device. It’s good but since I have to use the roku remote the options to operate it’s not as clean as using the satellite remote especially jumping between channels and easy channel,selection plus the list etc. after looking into it I’m thinking of maybe moving to the Gemini option which has a remote etc.
can anyone comment in my dilemma. Thanks

The Gemini Streaming box will provide the most "satellite-like" experience with DirecTV. I use Streaming boxes, Rokus, and my iPad for DirecTV Stream. Other than direct channel number entry there really isn't much difference from the DirecTV Stream boxes.

Also, you can't get the device with DirecTV Stream service only with DirecTV service. The 2 services are different. DirecTV will have fees and a contract. DirecTV Stream has no fees and contract. Watch out for which service you subscribe. You can buy the device from 3rd party if you desire the device.

Is direct tv stream free? Isnt there a monthly fee? understand that if I want to use the Gemini boxes it’s a different service and there is a $7 monthly fee for the Gemini box plus a 2 year contract. The interface thru roku is in my opinion klunky. The current fees that I’m paying for include hd and dvr service ($10 each) and 9.95 service contract plus $7 for genie boxes.

You did not attach a link for the OP, if that was your original intent.
