Is everyone as frustrated with the Gemeni as I am?
To use Directed TV with Gemini, it takes several minutes to start up each time. Then, almost every time I use it, I have to either reboot it or push the reset button (sometimes twice), which again takes several minutes. This is most often when I'm in or going into the App mode.
