Do residents need a smart TV?
No. Every resident receives a Gemini device that connects to any TV, smart or not, and brings live TV and streaming apps into one place.
Can residents watch on their phones?
Yes. Each resident gets their own DIRECTV Stream login and can watch on phones, tablets, computers and smart TVs, at home or away.
Why is the resident price lower than retail?
The discounted pricing applies when the entire property enrolls. If only some units sign up, standard DIRECTV Stream pricing applies. Residents in participating buildings get a signup code from their property manager.
