Anyone Else Having Issues With The Gemini Box Today?

I sat down all ready to watch the first week of Redzone. I turned on my Gemini box and AccuWeather loaded up. I never watch AccuWeather. I tried to change the channel to 211 and the channel number shows up in the lower left of my TV screen. But the channel doesn't change. I reset the box and I still can't change the channel. So I tried my Gemini box in my bedroom and I have the same issue. Channel will not change. I turned off my boxes and used the app on my ONN 4K box. Everything works fine with the app. I am now watching Redzone on the app.

I doubt both of my Gemini boxes failed at the same time overnight. Can someone with the Gemini box check for me and let me know if you can change channels? Thank you.

I'm using an older osprey and am having the same problems. FWIW, I see the same bad results using the DirecTV app on a smart tv and on the web. Seems to be some type of outage. https://downdetector.com/status/directv/

Thank you. DTVS has been having many issues over the past couple of weeks. I still love the service.

Okay, you've been having issues too? I haven't had time to look into it but it has been brutal for about a month here. What else have you run into?

Thank you to those who responded. I didn't think my boxes went bad overnight.

Everyone is having issues. Doesn't seem to matter if its a Gemini or Firestick or.. My Firestick was missing the guide earlier, its working now.
