Old person

At 83, I don't know what a new Gemini will do for us. My husband is legally blind and would like to change channels by voice. We have satellite Direct TV.

We’re glad you came to us to resolve your questions about the Gemini device. You and your husband can easily change channels using voice commands with the remote control and saying simple commands such as "Go to channel 100" or "Search Wheel of Fortune" Just press and release the Google Assistant/MIC button on your remote. You can see it in the image below: 

You will hear a short sound to let you know the device is hearing you. 

 

There are other good tips about using the Gemini Voice remote control here: https://www.directv.com/support/article/000091378 If you need more assistance with this, feel free to let us know. DIRECTV is ready to help. Claudia, DIRECTV Community Specialist

Sounds great Now how can I get a Direct TV person to install the new Gemini?  I think we have coverage in our plan to have someone do this for us.
