I. OVERVIEW
The streaming device is a game-changing, proprietary "Over-the-Top" (OTT) streaming device that delivers
video and integrated content to your TV over the internet. It enables you to watch DIRECTV NOW and
online videos, listen to music, use thousands of third-party apps (such as Netix
®
or Instagram
®
)
and play
games—all on your TV.
It comes preloaded with some Google apps, but thousands of others are available at the Google Play Store.
The streaming device is used on its own as a standalone device so you don't need any other

Genie
®
Servers.)
It comes with a remote control oering many features, including the convenience of voice control.
