Gemini C71KW-400 original boxes
I have 2 original Gemini boxes (C71KW-400) + the remotes from when I had AT&T TV in 2020. Thinking about going with DIRECTV stream now. Will these boxes work just as well as the new Gemini air? I’m trying to avoid that $15.99 a month fee you pay for the new box.

HDR not supported?
I had a TV that didn't support HDR, but I just bought a new Samsung that DOES support HDR, but when I go into the settings on the Gemini device, it still says HDR not supported by your TV. Any idea why? Does HDR work for everyone else or is this yet another ridiculous DirecTV bug?
