Yes, the streamed channels have the same numbers. I see the numbers in the guide on Apple TV, though I can’t actually enter them. The guide can be sorted alphabetically, or by channel number. Like you, I got used to navigating without numbers, but I still keep the guide sorted that way as it’s...

You might find it hard to believe the gentleman is misinformed. :biggrinThey do have dedicated streaming boxes, but there’s an app for pretty much every kind of stand-alone streamer (Apple TV, Roku, etc). The only advantage to the DirecTV box is that the remote has number buttons, so you can...

I stored all my receivers as well, just in case they suddenly ask for them to be returned. I’m currently subscribed to one of the Genre Packs from DirecTV Stream and have been quite pleased. Nice price, and works well. I will say it is nice to not have any of THEIR equipment in the house. No...

I’m a little late to this conversation but thought I’d mention that I cancelled in May and they didn’t want my HR54 or three HR24s returned. That surprised me — I figured they’d surely want the HR54. Nope.

I cancelled during the first week of May … received a prepaid card the first week of July. After jumping through a few hoops, I was able to transfer the funds from the card to my bank account. Once that was done, I called to cancel the card as it seemed weird to just leave that hanging out there...

Yes, I have an Edision OS Mio+ 4K box.My blind scans of SES-15 were the opposite of yours — it found the data transponders, but not Reuters. Weird stuff!

Thanks for the pointers — never would have found this. MSN Weather was disabled, but “InfoBarWeather” was on. Entered my location and that did the trick (Dutch spelling and all).

Here's another one I haven't been able to figure out. I think this may have started after loading TNAP 5.1 -- when I press "OK" on the Edision OS Mio+ 4K remote, I now see a message that says I need to "configure a location in plugin settings." I don't recall ever loading plugins, but in the...

Just to wrap this up, was finally able to get a bead on the Reuters feed. I had been on the correct satellite for some time, but it was coming up with nothing during blind scans. Tonight I went into the Signal Finder and manually entered the transponder info -- it locked. Did a scan from there...

Interesting. This doesn’t seem to be the same as the only reason I noticed the LNB being powered-down was because I had the analyzer connected. Once I select a satellite or favorite, it power right back up. Thought it might be desired behavior, but couldn’t think if what that might accomplish.

I’m still kicking myself for, sometime after most analog feeds vanished, taking down both my 10.5-foot and 7.5-foot C-Band dishes.At the time I figured, “well, these will never be of use again.” What a boneheaded move!

That’s good to know, thanks. I normally keep the dish parked on the Newsource transponder for quick access. I’d never heard of the Reuters feed so I was attempting to see what might be there. Sounds like I’m not missing much.

Thanks for confirming! I'll keep working on it ...

I've been playing around with the Ku dish recently (after a long absence) and have been looking for some feeds based on what I see at Lyngsat. According to their chart, there should be a feed for Reuters Live on SES-15, 12122H -- can anyone confirm that this exists? I see a pedestal there on the...

Are you speaking about a relay that’s inside the motor? If so, that might be difficult to replace. All-in-all it’s no big deal as I’m just futzing around with the whole thing. One other annoyance I’ve come across is that after doing a blind scan and exiting the menu, the Edision shuts off the...

I'll check that out — appreciate your input!

I can’t be certain of that as I’m a bit of a rube when it comes to keeping up with the latest updates. However, I did just install 5.1 a few days ago (20240729) and assumed it was the newest build. This behavior has been going on since the day I installed the dish, maybe 3 years ago.

Yes, that's my assumption on how it should work. I should have clarified that I have "fine movement" selected when attempting to nudge it east or west. I wasn't sure what was happening in the beginning, but after connecting a spectrum analyzer it became obvious that it was sweeping the arc...

I've been ignoring my FTA system for a while and just started to tinker with it again -- I'm amazed at how much I FORGOT -- it was like starting from scratch. My equipment: Edision OS Mio+ 4K (running TNAP 5.1) GEOSATpro 36" Stab Rotor Sat HH90 I was able to figure most functions out once...

Thanks for the info. A 24-month discount is a pretty good deal.

Based on my experience, definitely better to call. Do you mind disclosing the amount of the discount you're receiving? I just realized I misstated mine -- it's $55, not $50.

A good resolution to this: Received a call from a very nice person at the "Office of the President" in response to my BBB complaint. She was able to restore my account back to the way it was before I attempted to remove the locals.

This went downhill fast. Because my programming package changed from "Choice" to "Choice - no locals," the $50/mo credit I had until Feb 2025 was removed. The rep and supervisor in the loyalty department worked on it for a while and determined there was no way to re-apply it. As a result, I...

Well this is a bit concerning: Three hours later the locals are still available. Checking my account, it still says that locals are in my package — but the concern comes when looking at the price — the $50/mo. promo discount I’ve been enjoying has disappeared. Perhaps it will reappear after the...

I dropped locals this afternoon. Very easy process. Here's the final "warning" you receive before committing:
