If I wind up streaming through an app, it'll be through my Roku Ultra. But I see the DirecTV has two external streaming devices, one called a Gemini model C71KW which is an external box, and a newer one which is a dongle, called the Gemini Air. Does anyone know if there's a reason to pick one over the other?
Back from streaming (YTTV) to DirecTV? Has anyone done this?

There were issues with the Directv Roku app but those seem to be fixed. The PQ is fine. I'm using it on a couple of Roku TVs where I don't need boxes (or the $7/month charge for them).
I had D* satellite for 30 years and switched to D* Stream about a year ago.
I also had local cable tv for years as well as a rooftop antennae.
I would put the picture quality of D* Stream up against any of them or any other provider.

went from YTTV to spectrum cable back to DTV Sat. What won me over was seeing they finally made the Stream app work for Sat users so I don't have to pay extra box fees.
I want to thank everyone here for graciously answering my questions! I started my five day trial today, I'll be working with both the Osprey box and the Roku app. If you don't see me for a while, it's because I'm busy learning about this stuff! At any rate, I'll certainly be back with a report. Once again, thank you SO much!
last night I watched lakers vs clippers in 4k. its stunning. like being at the game looking through a glass.
I have DIRECTV DBS service but had also used the DIRECTV stream option via an Apple TV and to me the PQ looks as good as the DBS service. Since you can cancel the DIRECTV stream service act any time why not just try it and see how you like it before considering the DBS service with its commitments.
Well, it didn't even take two days. Better video, smoother interface, more channels, a DVR that WORKS. Yes, it's about $35 more a month. Big fat hairy deal. Cancelled YTTV and we're with DTV Stream.
Thank you SO much, everyong!

Yeah, right now I’m watching MSG’s Rangers-Wild telecast on my iPhone and it’s a smooth transition whenever the camera goes from the left area of the rink to the right area or vice versa, so it’s definitely a 60 fps stream.
Is there a way to see the actual resolution & FPS of the rendition, like how YouTube has “stats for nerds”, does D*Stream have something similar?
Are you using Binoculars for you can see the Puck ?
I don't watch hockey anymore ... every time I turn it on, my local team either gets scored on or Loses
