BLUETOOTH FREEZES SATELLITE FEED

Recently when I connected any of my bluetooth headphones to my Gemini box, the satellite feed froze, and if I change the channel, all I get is a black screen with the channel information header.  The apps work fine.  Tech support sent me a replacement box and said that the updated firmware would solve the problem but the new box has the same issue.  Any one else experiencing this?

We're sorry to hear that the problem persists even after the Gemini device was replaced, @cheshirecb. We've forwarded this to our team for further investigation, and we'll let you know once we get an update.

Yes same here, I hadn't used my headphones on my Gemini for a month and now that I was trying to watch TV while my wife was sleeping as soon as I connected any headphones because I tried 3 different pairs and it immediately stops programming.

What I did notice is that they work fine on the apps but not Live TV or recorded save programming.

Exactly what I'm experiencing.  And it is happening on all of my receivers; not just one.
