Yes I have the LOCAL CHANNEL REGION set to LOS ANGELES and LOCAL CHANNEL set to ON. When I key in Channel 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 etc using SAT Echostar package, nothing happens and the channel remains on that currently watched. Do I need Echo 7 to receive my local "LOCALS"?

Thank you Sir!

Try the sat button and then go to all satellites then try your channels again.

Hi Carpenter1,

I'm new so I do not know much. Does this work for Pansat 2500a? I press menu, but I do not see other stuff that you mentioned.

For what it's worth I also do not have the "local" option when I select the "sat" button on my remote. I have local channels on and local selection. When selecting "sat" on the remote I get the following options;
1. Echostar 8,10
2. Echostar 7
3 Echostar Package
4. BEV Package
5. All satallites

Locals with Ultra- Menu,User setting, Turn local channels on search for your city and select it, and rescan for channels. Local channel mapping working perfectly on my Ultra.
