Just signed up for Satellite service. Is there a list of channels that are available to stream that I dont need my wired box for.
Hi, I Just signed up for satellite service. I went with 3 wired boxes because I wasn't sure if the Gemini was right for me. I have 3 TVs that I would like a box on and 3 others that I don't necessarily need a box on because they aren't used as frequently. My question is did I make the right choice going for the wired boxes, any idea which boxes they are sending? The other question is there a list of channels that I can stream without a box? Kind of would like to stream a certain sports channel Space City network. For the TVs that won't be getting a box, I will be using Apple TV and Nvidia shields. The reason I wanted wired devices for the 3 main TVs is that I am afraid of delay when using wireless, I watch a lot of sports and hate getting texts ruining the next play, that's why I switched to satellite from YouTubeTV.

Thanks for the response. I believe they are sending genie mini for the 2 non-living room TVs. The order also says genie with a price listing of 299, I don't know if that narrows down the equipment I will know for sure on installation this midweek.

Most but not all of the channels in you DTV sat package can be streamed to the DTV app. You will most likely get an HS17 Genie2 with 3 mini clients probably C61 but there are other versions C41,C51 all depends on what the tech has on the truck.
Not sure if sporting channels can be streamed.

Gotcha, My other question I don't think I included, was when I am away from home at the gym I watch TV on my iPad mini. Will I be able to watch stuff I have on my DVR when I am away from home? not a dealbreaker but would be a cool feature to have.

DTV has said they will return streaming from the DVR and downloading to a mobile device sometime in the future. You will be able to stream channels. I think the HS17 Genie 2 cost is $399 so you maybe getting an HR54 and 2 minis. Because the HS17 Genie2 account only allows clients and is not connected to any TV it requires 3 mini clients.
