Box and Remote automatically shipped if I sign up for DirecTV Streaming?

Do I have to do anything special to get the box and remote when I sign up for DirecTV Streaming? Or is it automatically shipped? I realize that many may use a smart TV but I want the box and the voice remote.

I just subscribed to DirecTV Stream and loaded the app on my Samsung smart tv. The problem is the Samsung remote does not do a good job of navigating the app. Example, the guide button doesn't bring up the guide, etc.

Gemini Air Remote

I moved from Uverse to DTV stream a few months ago and was given the Gemini Air dongle. I like the interface and remote better than the app, so I'd like to keep using them.
