Volume from DirecTv to receiver is lower than Smart TV
I have a DirecTv cable box model HR44-500 that I think has an issue. I connect it to my Yamaha RX-V6A receiver with an HDMI cable along with 2 RCA cables (left/right) and the volume is very low on the speakers. If I set it to 50 on the Yamaha receiver, the volume is right to listen to.

H24-200 Receiver
I use a H24-200 receiver camping and have later model receivers at home. While camping (even just 10 miles from home) the setup only indicates sats 101 and 119 while at home it receives 99, 101 and 103. What am I doing wrong in setup or does the H24-200 not pick up sats 99 and 103?

Apps for streaming buried too deeply and don’t work well
I got my new Gemini this week, and it is barely different from my old Genie 2. It is clear that this is still a satellite device with streaming as an afterthought. I enjoy putting Pandora on my TV when I’m not watching a show and I counted 16 clicks of buttons on the remote to get to that app
