Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The diy setup option works very well. The interface is less intuitive, but is usable and works.



Cons

The instructions are vague and so tiny i needed a magnifying glass to read them. Navigating on directv is a nightmare. Also the pre loaded drivers are not well made.

Every time you use it, on random, it throws 'device offline' error. App is a little wonky with phrases like “to be translated” instead of “continue”. This has no reset or button for pairing.
