I'm referring to the ESPN app that is included in "My Apps" on the Osprey and Air.

Scared the Hell out of me. I thought they were discontinuing the ESPN app on the Ospreys and Airs. Glad that's not the case.

Working flawlessly for me albeit the horrendous PQ.

Just purchased an Air and 3 Ospreys from FBMP for $40.00 and they all booted up just fine.

If you are on Stream you DO own the boxes.

Some were easy to update, others took several attempts. You must be connected via Ethernet cable for it to take. Once the download is successful you can then use WIFI. The only 3 that I was unable to get a new download on were part of the original DirecTv Now beta program.

Some can be activated, some can't. I have purchased several through FB marketplace and was successful with most of them. I did have three that I purchased for $10.00 each that I could not activate. They were from the Beta program. I don't recall the process, but if you do some googling you...

Well, it basically only cost me $80.00. One month subscription to Hulu live TV. I was able to pick up a Gemini air for 50 bucks and two Geminis for $10 each though since people were basically giving them away.

This may be a no sh*t Sherlock post, but here goes, if you sign up for a different provider, even if temporarily, you can still access ESPN plus via the app on the Gemini by using the new provider log in credentials then you don’t have to leave the Gemini for another device. Hope this helps...

Directv Stream added profiles to my boxes yesterday. Nice addition.

You can subscribe to almost any provider and link your account to ESPN+ to receive all of the ESPN channels as long as that provider carries them. I am temporarily subscribed to Hulu Live just so I have a provider to link to. The PQ on ESPN+ far exceeds the linear channel.

Have an account set up with Hulu LiveTV as a fill in if necessary. Most streaming sites have a free trial period No way I'm missing one second of ESPN or +. That's just me.

There is no "native" function with these boxes so there is a conversion happening regardless. If you select 1080i and are viewing a 720p station the television is converting and vice versa. Pick your poison.

Not sure how your boxes work but I am able to choose what mine output from 3840x2160p (recommended),1080p, or 1080i.

Last I checked they were still available. Box is capable of producing 3840X2160p 60Hz 4k with HDR available. HDR is either on or off and quite frankly I don't care for how the boxes do HDR.

...For me direct channel tuning is a must. IMO the apps on AppleTv, Roku, etc. are way too tedious. I purchased some of my boxes directly from D*, others I purchased from FB marketplace. You are taking a chance when purchasing from Ebay or FB marketplace however. There is a chance the box will...

I should have included that this is on the C71KW.

Just came across an entirely new operating system in the settings menu. It is an android system identical to the ones on my Sony televisions.

Yes, Air and Ospreys.

Thank goodness that option is still available on the Stream side. I agree that Direct's HDR is horrible. I tried it for 2 minutes during the College Football Championship and switched back to SDR.

Same for stream.

Was going to ask if Bally Sports Oklahoma 674 was available via Satellite (it's not on Stream), now I notice that Space City Home Network is in the guide on 674 and appears to be a Houston RSN.

If you are referring to the Gemini/Osprey the option to turn OFF HDR still exists.

Received and activated. It appears you can no longer order a "new" gemini/osprey box. The only thing listed for order for my account are used/refurbished.

I own several osprey/gemini boxes. I would like to purchase a gemini air for use in my vehicle while traveling. I tested using a hotspot from my cell this am and it works perfectly. No reason it shouldn't work while going down the road.
