Gemini air performance issues

I have noticed 2 problems.

First when scanning the channels the device life seems to freeze and I have to release the channel button and press again to get it started again.

Also during a broadcast, the picture will be interrupted and it will flash a blank screen with the channel logo and info before returning to live tv.

Any suggestions ?

Regarding the blank screen flash with just the channel number and information and then returning to live TV -- this has been mentioned numerous times on the Reddit DirecTV Stream thread.  There is also a low volume audio issue involving Gemini equipment.  DirecTV engineers are reportedly working on both issues.

@DR0719

Are connected Directly to a HDMI port on your tv? or connected directly to a Home Theater Receiver? F you connect direct to a Smart Tv - go into the TV setup and find your TV's HDMI Settings and set the one or all connected to the Air to Enhanced.  If your using a home theater receiver you would need to do the same on the HDMI port. 

as well has having HDMI Cables that are 2.1

I wanted to thank everyone for helping me.

Unfortunately, after trying all of your suggestions, the problems remain.

I assume this is a Gemini air performance issue.
